the jetson's live in rio.


just kidding.

its actually the NiterĂ³i Contemporary Art Museum in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

the architect is Oscar Neimeyer.

he has been an architect since the '30s and designed some famous buildings, including the United Nations in NYC.

although I don't agree with his political beliefs, I respect him as an artist.

and I found this very inspirational quote from him that I think any artist/ designer could relate to :

"not the straight angle that attracts me, nor straight, hard, inflexible created by man. What attracts me is the free and sensual curve, the curves that find the mountains of my country, in the course of the winding rivers, the sea waves, the body of the woman preferred."
