Oscar Niemeyer

Saw an astonishing building in the Parque do Ibirapuera designed by legendary Brazilian architect Oscar Niemeyer. His work is all over Sao Paulo, and he's still going strong, at age 103. His buildings are incredible to look at, to walk through, and to read about, and his proponents argue that Niemeyer is the world's greatest living architect. Check out his site here. There's a great profile on him here. Walking through his auditorium in the park (the first picture above) was a treat, as the space is magical and also quite deceptive visually. The building on the inside is not what you'd think it would be from the outside... Our guide informed us the red entrance way was inspired by the Rolling Stones' famous tongue logo...
