'L'un des plus surprenants créateurs et des plus prolifiques architectes de ce siècle, Oscar Niemeyer, l'un des fondateurs de Brasilia, est un homme qui croit au pouvoir de l'imaginaire. Personnalité exigeante qui toute sa vie s'est battue pour son pays, exilé en France sous la dictature militaire brésilienne, Oscar Niemeyer nous ouvre aujourd'hui les portes de son atelier et de sa maison à Rio de Janeiro. Matthieu Salvaing l'ai accompagné de Sao Paulo à Belo Horizonte, de Brasilia à Rio, pour mieux photographier et expliquer cette oeuvre d'architecture qui a su jouer des contrastes entre les droites et les courbes pour rendre le béton sensuel et inventif.'

This book explores a central theme of Niemeyer's work: a reflection of the Brazilian jeito, a supple and improvisational style manifested in everything from the country's sensual, undulating landscape to its attraction to spontaneous impulses, best known through its vibrant music and dance. The jeito and the milieu of Rio de Janeiro are at the heart of Niemeyer's style of free-form, which emphasises the inherent plasticity of the native curve over the rigid Style in Europe. A second theme brought to light in the book is Niemeyer of the poetic influence of Le Corbusier. Also deliberated in the volume is Niemeyer's attraction to surrealist biomorphic forms and his desire to express a sense of the fantastic in architecture. A final theme examined is Niemeyer's search for an aesthetic utopia that would resolve social dilemmas by wishing them away through architecture.

In this informal, fluid autobiography, Niemeyer reveals that 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 to his vibrant life. This volume provides readers with an unprecedented entrée into the life of one of this century's most influential architects : Oscar Niemeyer. It includes notes identifying the people and places cited in the narrative, a chronology of Niemeyer's career, a selection of archival photographs and forty sketches created by Niemeyer especially for this book.
