Oscar Niemeyer

Architecture is invention.
-
Form follows beauty.
-
For me beauty is valued more than anything - the beauty that is manifest in a curved line or in an act of creativity.
-
My work is not about 'form follows function,' but 'form follows beauty' or, even better, 'form follows feminine.'

There is no reason to design buildings that are more basic and rectilinear, because with concrete you can cover almost any space.
