Catedral - Metropolitana - ‘60

Its symbolic is altercated. Some say it is the thorncrown of Jesus, others think it’s a blossom an others again say it looks like praying hands. But it is sure a masterpiece of Oscar Niemeyer. In front of the subsurface entrance there are modern stone-sculptures posed who should depict the “Four Disciples”.

The Entrance lies in the shadow to lead the believers from the darkness into the light. The interior is kept very artless, no embellishments and decoration destroy the ruminant atmosphere. One Altar, bright chairs and three big angelfigures made of Joao Ceschiatti which are hanging under the astrodome - that’s all.

Congresso Nacional - ‘72

The Congresso Nacional is Niemeyer’s masterpiece. Here you can see the architectural concept of the convex and concave lines. The utopian element of the flying saucers prove his aversion about the straight models of architecture. In the interior you can see numerous works of art and valuables.

Palácio do Itamaraty - ‘43

The State Department is one of the most stylish buildings of Brasilia. Thin bows come up out of the water and seem to become larger in the reflecting water. In the bassin a sculpture of a meteor depicts the five parts of the world. At one side of the Itamarati appears a small, longish building which is made of hundreds of yellow, orange and brown tiles. This was made of Sergio Bernades, the most liked architect of the president. Bernades was not afraid that Niemeyer became the only architect of Brasilia.
