Opinion Sur
At the age of 103 the brilliant Brazilian architect Oscar Niemeyer parted. In a world assaulted by financial capital’s greed and pillage, severe speculators that mercilessly appropriate the value others generate, the feelings, thoughts and commitment of this genius are touching.
At the dusk of 2012 let these lines of his remain with us:
‘In my opinion architecture is not what is most important. Important are family, friends and this unfair world we must modify.’
‘It is not the right angle that attracts me, nor the straight line, hard and inflexible, created by man. What attracts me is the free and sensual curve — the curve that I find in the mountains of my country, in the sinuous course of its rivers, in the body of the beloved woman.’
Cordial greeting.
The Editors.
