Oscar Niemeyer

I have always tried to create an architecture that is harmonious, that is balanced, that is peaceful.

Architecture is a way of shaping the future, of creating a better world for generations to come.

The most important thing is to live life to the fullest, to embrace every moment, to cherish every experience.

I don't believe in architecture that is rigid, that is authoritarian. I believe in architecture that is free, that is democratic.

My architecture is a testament to the power of imagination, to the beauty of the human mind.

The architect must be a humanist, a lover of humanity, a champion of social justice.

I have always tried to create an architecture that is respectful of nature, that is in harmony with its surroundings.

Architecture is a way of expressing our hopes, our dreams, our aspirations for a better world.

The most important thing is to be authentic, to be true to yourself, to your values.

I don't believe in architecture that is cold, that is sterile. I believe in architecture that is warm, that is inviting, that is full of life.

Architecture is invention.

Curves make up the entire universe.

I am not interested in the fact that a building can have a nice view. I am interested in the fact that the building can create a nice view.

Form follows beauty.

Life is very short, so I use simple and clear images, like beauty and happiness. True happiness is always linked to beauty.

We do not build houses, we build dreams.

My architecture tends to make people feel free.

The machine does not learn the laws of physics; it invents them.

Beauty is the harmony of function and form.

In architecture, as in life, one must dare to dream.
