Wow...Hey, Andy, I just found this article of yours. Wow, it was posted just a couple of days before Niemeyer's death. Another coincidence is that I wrote about Niemeyer in my blog after his death, showing the same project that you show here, the Cathedral, in Revit, without having seen this post of yours. See you in Auckland (that's another coincidence!)Alfredo Medinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06998597439608444010noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8416077501952449955.post-200803524400825192012-12-16T08:33:26.173+04:002012-12-16T08:33:26.173+04:00Hi Kamran, thanks for the interesting observations...Hi Kamran, thanks for the interesting observations. I hadn't picked up the sad news about Oscar, but he certainly had a good long innings. I haven't been to Brazil either, but his architecture ... the whole period ... is quite fascinating. Thanks for the links too.<br /><br />AndyAndy Milburnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03292205727891265423noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8416077501952449955.post-86460805203388381042012-12-14T17:44:54.201+04:002012-12-14T17:44:54.201+04:00Hi Andy; I think Oscar passed away a couple of day...Hi Andy; I think Oscar passed away a couple of days after your post . . . RIP.<br />By far the best article is on The Guardian with tributes from architects, incl ZH and NF: http://www.guardian.co.uk/artanddesign/architecture-design-blog/2012/dec/07/oscar-niemeyer-tributes-architects-critics<br />Myself, I never have been to Brazil, but having been born in '66 and lived a cosmopolitan life, his work did really symbolize the Brave New World of my childhood, including Pan Am Boeing 707's, and the like !<br />Also have a look at this felix Candela stuff: http://www.revitforum.org/rendering-gallery/11710-familia-parametrica-felix-candela.html<br />Can't believe they did this all by hand in that age; but we are the 'want it now' generations, in those days it would have been months of sketching and drafting, let alone the calculations.
