Casa das Canoas

www.channelbeta.net
It was at the Canoas House that a euphoric Juscelino Kubitschek visited Niemeyer one September morning of 1956, soon after he assumed the Brazilian presidency. While driving back to the city, the politician 'eagerly' spoke to the architect about his most audacious scheme: 'I am going to build a new capital for this country and I want you to help me [...] Oscar, this time we are going to build the capital of Brazil.' (Niemeyer, Oscar, 2000a, The Curves of Time: The Memoirs of Oscar Niemeyer (London: Phaidon), p. 70).
