ARCHITECTS + POLITICS + MUSIC | The Political Thoughts of Chairman Niemeyer 1 (+ Milton Nascimento)

What a difference a year makes.

BRASÍLIA 50 ANOS | Alex Shoumatoff Explains the Meaning of the Word »Candango«
The year of celebration in Brasília is winding down and it occurred to me that I’ve focused on the work of Oscar Niemeyer, Lúcio Costa, and the other “official” personages behind the City of the Future. But what about the people who actually turned the vision into reality in an incredible 41 months?Collected in mfm999's videos Nov 22, 2010 -
ARCHITECTURE + VIDEOS | »Oscar Niemeyer – (2010) – Auditorium (Ravello – Italy)« by Franco Di Capua
I wasn’t sure what to make of Niemeyer’s Auditorum in Ravello, Italy, when it first debuted in 2000. All the photos I’ve seen reminded me of Oscar’s arguably worst work, his giant eye (aka the Museu Oscar Niemeyer) in Brazil’s bastion of progress, Curitiba: Museu Oscar Niemeyer by Morio, Wikimedia Commons ° ° ° All [...]Collected in mfm999's videos Nov 12, 2010 -

CITIES | TOKYO :: THE CITY AS IT APPEARED IN 1960
I came across this video of Tokyo in 1960 and was amazed at how much basic infrastructural work had been done to the city by 1960. The Tokyo Olympics were only four years away and the city was getting ready for its post-war close-up.Collected in mfm999's videos Sep 5, 2010 -

BRASÍLIA 50 ANOS | THE BUILDINGS :: THE NEW DIGITAL TV TOWER
This project by Oscar Niemeyer —the 103-year-old maestro of Brazilian architecture — has flown under the radar of the architectural community. What is somewhat radical about this design is that it is so obviously off the Monumental Axis that Lúcio Costa planned for all of the city’s monumental buildings.Collected in mfm999's videos Aug 26, 2010 -
