Niemeyer, Oscar (Brazilian architect, 1907-2012)

Note: Brazilian architect best known for designing the government buildings of Brasília, in collaboration with Le Corbusier and his teacher and colleague Lúcio Costa. In 1939, he collaborated with Costa on the Brazilian Pavilion for the New York World’s Fair. He joined Le Corbusier again in designing the United Nations complex in Manhattan, along with the Soviet architect Nikolai D. Bassov and Max Abramovitz of New York. He worked to the end of his life. His Museum of Contemporary Art in Niterói, near Rio, which opened in 1996, was critically well received. He was awarded the Pritzker Prize in 1988.
