Who was the planner of Brasilia who was inspired by le corbusier?

Niemeyer was a visionary of the Brazilian modernist movement, drawing inspiration from Le Corbusier, and he brought a firm sense of futurism to Brasília with stark white structures with sculptural silhouettes: the crown- like Cathedral of Brasília would become one of his most iconic works.

Why Brasilia was built?

The idea was, in Niemeyer’s words, “ to build a new capital to bring progress to the interior of Brazil “. Built in the country’s heartland, Brasilia was to be the opposite of the old coastal capital Rio de Janeiro. Brasilia would be without the colonial legacy, without baroque and classical architecture, without slums.

Why is Brasilia a World Heritage Site?

Brasília was chosen as a UNESCO World Heritage Site due to its modernist architecture and uniquely artistic urban planning. The city’s design divides it into numbered blocks as well as sectors for specified activities, such as the Hotel Sector, the Banking Sector and the Embassy Sector.

What is Brasilia Brazil known for?

Brasília was inscribed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1987 due to its modernist architecture and uniquely artistic urban planning. It was named “City of Design” by UNESCO in October 2017 and has been part of the Creative Cities Network since then.

Why is Brasilia a failure?

Instead, Brasilia, like all cities, needed time to develop and evolve. Another major criticism of Brasilia was its reliance on highways. Brasilia, critics proclaimed, was a failure due to its dependence on highways and broad streets rather than pathways for pedestrians and bike riders.
