oscar niemeyer was born on dec. 15, 1907, in rio de janeiro and, despite his advanced age,
continues to practice his profession. by continuing to explore the modernist aesthetic and
refusing to depart from formalism and purity, niemeyer has turned himself into an eccentric humanist.
he works from his office in rio and always cites his long-standing fear of flying that allows
him to politely decline every invite for traveling.
'curves make up the entire universe, the curved universe of einstein.' he adds.

'a central pillar, with the architecture floating free in space, like a flower' he said.
