yeay!
Umm...
What about the juxtaposition of this article vs the one on starchitects?
Tsk tsk Nicolai
namhenderson...good catch...
i thought those articles were over-elaborated simplistic personal views anyways...
not to get too much into it, but i think oscar's latest work reflects his view in life as he approaches its end, and are much less rigorous, but much more dramatic...but people never really mattered...it is always about the building...
@ Simples....
I agree...
Neimeyer was always about beauty and form..I always felt people were secondary consideratiosn (at best) and i love his work..Certainly his work isn't often to "human scale"
spot on...
it's interesting how brazilian architecture always seem to have its own scale...i like that a "building is a building" mentality;
