Art: The Architect of Brasilia
(3 of 3)
At Brasilia Niemeyer must still design theaters, stations, airport buildings, must approve every private venture, find materials, supervise all projects. For the city's 3,000-seat cathedral, he plans a tepee of concrete poles 220 ft. high, sheathed in translucent plastic and stained glass. "Brasilia," says Niemeyer, "begins a new phase in my work, more geometrical, more simple, more monumental." Post-Brasilia outlook: "I have not thought about it. I suppose I will have to start my life all over again."
