Oscar Niemeyer’s Brasilia At Sixty

The city might not be so walkable, but for a concrete savannah laid out and built within four years, Brasília is holding up pretty darn well. “I worried before I visited Brasília that the huge expanses of space between the buildings would mean that it could be a little sterile, lacking in atmosphere, yet it’s an incredibly welcoming and open city.” (Architecturally, at least.) – The Observer (UK)
