Oscar Niemeyer

In this episode, Oscar Niemeyer talks about his experiences and premises in architecture through accounts of his design process for projects such as the Congress building in Brasilia, the Ibirapuera Park dome in São Paulo, the Communist Party headquarters in Paris, the Theater in Le Havre, and the Obra do Berço in Rio de Janeiro, his first built architecture.

This episode was made by editing audios taken from lectures, films and interviews conducted by Niemeyer for Escola da Cidade, Roda Viva, the Chamber of Deputies of Brazil, Casa de Lucio Costa and his film “A Vida é um Sopro” (Life is a Breath).
