How do you achieve beauty in architecture? How do you create forms that feel weightless? How does one architect define and shape the architectural identity of a country? The answers to these questions lie in knowing the life of Oscar Neimeyer. Hailed by many as one of the greatest modern architects, this man’s life is as full of ups and downs as the forms he created. This is a man who got to bring to life what very few architects in the world ever got a chance to do, and he was made to pay a huge price for it. The story of Oscar Neimeyer is filled with inspiration, with politics, with philiosphy with self introspection, but most importantly with beautiful architecture. This is the story of the last modern architect of the 20th century, this is the story of Oscar Neimeyer. 00:00 - Introduction 01:17 - Chapter 1 05:33 - Chapter 2 09:56 - Chapter 3 13:48 - Chapter 4 19:32 - Chapter 5 26:00 - Chapter 6 29:43 - Chapter 7 Become a channel member: null About: Rishabh Wadhwa is an architect from India who creates content on architecture and design.
