Oscar Niemeyer: a misbehaved pupil of rationalism
Oscar Niemeyer, who will be 90 years old in December, holds an unique position among the great masters of twentieth-century world architecture. Whereas he is both admired and criticized for the formal liberties he takes, most critical commentaries centre upon the interpretation of orthodox modernism by this early disciple of Le Corbusier. Based upon the architect's written statements, as well as on a potential genealogy of his ideas, this paper seeks to assess Niemeyer's standing in the context of selected buildings.
