description: Oscar Niemeyer (b.1907) is the last of the great, decisive, form-giving modern architects of the twentieth century. In this informal, fluid autobiography, he reveals how philosophy, politics and his many passions – including his large family, many friends, the sensuous land and open skies of Brazil, the female body, art and literature – have formed the key to his architecture and his vibrant life. This first English edition of the iconic architect's memoirs is now available in paperback to mark his 100th birthday.
