Oscar Niemeyer is one of the greatest architects of our time. Hugely influential, his work has added a new dimension to Modern architecture in the twentieth century. This book showcases twenty-one stunning Niemeyer-designed houses, which taken as a group serve to demonstrate the wide range of Niemeyer's prodigious genius as never before seen.
Niemeyer's house designs show a personal and eclectic facet to his creative imagination; this side of the well-known master is little known and under-appreciated. Often built for family members or major clients (as well as several for himself), they show a wealth of solutions that respond to a wide range of sites: the steep hillsides of Rio, the flat plains of Brasilia, the Atlantic beach shore, the rain forest, the residential neighbourhoods of Rio and Sao Paulo.
