Description
Brazilian architect Oscar Niemeyer, born in 1907, is one of the architectural masters of the20th century and a pioneer of modernism. Known primarily for his collaboration with Le Corbusier and his projects for Pampulha and the visionary Brazilian capital, Brasilia, Niemeyer has designed hundreds of remarkable buildings and master plans during his seven-decade career.
In The Curves of Time Niemeyer reveals how his many passions - among them his large family, many friends, the sensuous landscape of Brazil, women, art and literature - have all influenced his life and in turn inspired his architecture. Niemeyer recounts his life in an informal, fluid narrative that moves from his childhood in Rio, through to friendships with intellectuals and politicians such as Jean-Paul Sartre and Fidel Castro, to tales of adventurous road trips.
