brazilia is one of the greatest architectural treasures in the world. well deserved.
Lucio Costa is mostly credited with urban planning of Brasilia .. but Niemeyer is still the man, since he did most of the highlights there.
not to mention Lele, like pele he scored well in brazilia.
oscar neimeyer stands out noticeably though, not too many know he was devoted communist, holding receptions with the likes of castro.
