# Oscar Niemeyer (@oscar-niemeyer)

Oscar Niemeyer was a Brazilian architect central to the architecture of Brasília. The work is especially associated with sensuous reinforced-concrete curves, monumental civic composition, and modernist optimism. Major projects include the Pampulha complex, Brasília’s principal civic buildings, and the Niterói Contemporary Art Museum. A responsible account also considers the expressive possibilities of concrete and the political ambitions of modern public architecture.
