Niemeyer.

Although Ozzie is best known for his seminal work in shapely beauty Brasília as well as international oeuvres, the Rio native left a legacy intact in his home town – the 1930s Palacio Capanema (now the Ministry of Education and Health) / Rua da Imprensa, 16 / Centro / 2279 8089 / originally designed by Le Corbusier was an early triumph; tropical mid-century modern Casa das Canoas / Estrada das Canoas, 1246 / São Conrado / 3322 0642 / casadascanoas .com.br / was built for his family in 1953 before their exile during Brazil’s dictatorship; and the façade of the Museu de Arte Contemporânea / Mirante da Boa Viagem / Niterói / 2620 2400 / macniteroi.com.br / is for architecture buffs a worthy pilgrimage across the bridge to the city of Niterói.
