Over seven decades of work, he designed approximately 600 buildings, transforming skylines from Bab-Ezzouar, Algeria, to his homeland masterpiece Bras匀ia. Niemeyer's work took the reduced forms of modernism and infused them with free-flowing grace. In place of pared-down starkness, his structures rippled with sinuous and seductive lines. In buildings such as the Niter Contemporary Art Museum, Edif兤io Copan, or the Metropolitan Cathedral in Bras匀ia, he brought curvaceousness to the concrete jungle. In the futuristic federal capital of Bras匀ia, he designed almost all public buildings, and thus became integral to the global image of Brazil. With rich illustrations documenting highlights from his prolific career, this book introduces Niemeyer's unique vision and its transformative influence on buildings of business, faith, culture, and the public imagination of Brazil.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Philip Jodidio\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3836536226\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783836536226\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Taschen\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/29\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 96\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.35lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.30h x 8.30w x 0.60d","brand":"Philip Jodidio","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44173303611647,"sku":"9783836536226","price":20.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_a7e2d520-e9a1-4a69-b480-dd7c4610bbc6.jpg?v=1689792077","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/niemeyer-philip-jodidio-9783836536226","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
