On the occasion of Brazilian architect Oscar Niemeyer`s 100th anniversary, the" New York Times" wrote, "In the 1940s, `50s and `60s he established himself as one of Modernism`s greatest luminaries, infusing stark abstract forms with a beguiling tropical hedonism that reshaped Brazil`s identity in the popular imagination and mesmerized architects around the globe." To this day, over seven decades since one of his first projects--a 1936 collaboration with Lucio Costa and Le Corbusier--Oscar Niemeyer is still practicing. A technical pioneer and one of the 20th century`s most important architects, Niemeyer has designed close to 700 realized and unrealized buildings and, most notably, was the architect for the principal monuments in Brasilia, his homeland`s futuristic capital city and his undisputed major masterpiece.
