Descrição: Niemeyer practiced architecture with a freedom that grew as the forms and spaces he conceived through drawing became reality, built thanks to the participation of remarkable engineers such as Joaquim Cardoso, with whom he realized his major works, from the Pampulha complex in Belo Horizonte, Brazil, to the monumental center of Brasilia. [...]supported, if I can call it that, by technical expertise, Niemeyer's designs contributed to the affirmation of Brazil on the worldwide stage, famously marked by the 1943 exhibition "Brazil Builds" at the Museum of Modern Art in New York. In Canoas, a small valley where the ocean is visible in the distance, Niemeyer designed a glass house dominated by the dual horizontals of the ground (pierced by a rock) and a sinuous roof - the tropical replica of Frank Lloyd Wright's Fallingwater, as he admitted to me during a visit to the site in 1998, but also in all likelihood of Mies van der Rohe's Farnsworth House, with a similarly dominating position vis-à-vis the landscape.
