Niemeyer is one of the greatest exponents of modern Brazilian architecture. Among his many works, Niemeyer created Brasília, the capital of Brazil, in 1960, alongside Lúcio Costa, who was once his professor at the College of Architecture in the 1930s. Niemeyer’s career began under Costa, when he collaborated in the creation of Brazil’s first modernist building, alongside the notable French architect, Le Corbusier. Niemeyer’s architecture, with its long and sinuous lines, can be seen in world-famous buildings, such as the United Nations headquarters (1947), the French Communist Party in Paris (1965), and Mentouri University of Constantini in Algeria (1969), to name a few. He designed museums, hotels, homes, banks, churches, schools and more. In his 80 year-long career span, the Niemeyer left us with more than 500 works.
