A vida é um sopro (Life is a blest) is the tittle of a documentary made in 2007 about Oscar Niemeyer.
Oscar Ribeiro de Almeida Niemeyer Soares Filho (born December 15, 1907) is a Brazilian architect who is considered one of the most important names in international modern architecture. He was a pioneer in exploring the formal possibilities of reinforced concrete solely for their aesthetic impact. His buildings are often characterized by being spacious and exposed, mixing volumes and empty space to create unconventional patterns and often propped up by pilots. Both lauded and criticized for being a "sculptor of monuments" , he has been praised for being a great artist and one of the greatest architects of his generation by his supporters.


It is not the right angle that attracts me.
Neither the straight, hard, inflexible,
created by man.
What attracts me is the free and sensual curve.
The curve in the mountains
of my country
the course of its winding rivers,
the waves of the sea
the body of the preferred woman.
Curves are done throughout the universe.
The Einstein's curved universe.
Oscar Niemeyer
