Brasilia, Brazil
The City of Tomorrow
|
When the building of Brasilia, Brazil's capital city, started in 1956 it was considered a landmark in the history of town planning. Oscar Niemeyer, a famous Brazilian architect, is responsible for the advanced urban planning of the city that was completed in only 3 years during the reign of President Juscelino Kubitschek. The intentions of Niemeyer were to have every element, such as the layout of the residential and administrative neighbourhoods, and the symmetry of the buildings throughout the city be imaginative and innovative.

If you're interested in architecture I definitely recommend travelling to all of Niemeyer’s official buildings. The intentions behind the building of the new capital of Brazil – the city of Brasilia was to have a pre-planned, futuristic city. Now known as the “City of Tomorrow,” Brasilia is the embodiment of modern architecture and engineering.
