Imaging Brazil 374: Edifício Niemeyer Windscreen Reflection in Belo Horizonte, MG (2012)

A personal selection of photographs with their stories.

374: Edifício Niemeyer

The phograph clearly shows the contours of a car seat with the headrest. It’s a windshield of a car, in which the Niemeyer Building is reflected. That day, it was sunny with a clear blue sky. Niemeyer Building, or Edifício Niemeyer in Portuguese, is located at Praça da Liberdade. Projected one decade of the Pampulha Architectonic Complex, the Niemeyer Building was built on the site of former Dolabela Palacete. Niemeyer got his inspiration by the natural curves of the mountain range that borders the city. When you look at the building, you would count fifteen floors. However, there are only eight floors, thanks to Baroque art and illusionism.

A personal selection of photographs with their stories.

025. Casa do Baile

JULY 2005: Casa do Baile

Casa do Baile, House of the Dance. The Casa is located at Lagoa da Pampulha, which is an irregular-shaped artificial lake. It is one of the projects designed by architect Oscar Niemeyer when he was creating the architectonic conjunction of Lagoa da Pampulha during the forties of the past century. The construction contains meandering lines that are characteristic for Niemeyer’s creations. In July, the columns were decorated with red veils, as if the columns were the bailarinas (dancers) of that month.
