I Am A Brazilian Before I Am

When You Have A Large Space To Conquer, The Curve Is The Natural Solution.

I Had Some Good Opportunities. I Was Lucky To Have Had The Chance To Do Things Differently. Architecture Is About Surprise.

Here, Then, Is What I Wanted To Tell You Of My Architecture. I Created It With Courage And Idealism, But Also With An Awareness Of The Fact That What Is Important Is Life, Friends And Attempting To Make This Unjust World A Better Place In Which To Live.

I Think Of Myself As No More Than 60. What I Could Do At 60, I Can Still Do Now.

Architecture Was My Way Of Expressing My Ideals: To Be Simple, To Create A World Equal To Everyone, To Look At People With Optimism, That Everyone Has A Gift. I Don’t Want Anything But General Happiness. Why Is That Bad?
