I always think Brasília showcased Brazilian ambitions and optimism in the 50's and early to mid 60's and looks absolutely wonderful. I know it's not to everyone's tastes. In fact a professor of Urban Studies here in London claimed that it's not a city in the traditional sense in that it doesn't have the ingredients of a city: messy streets, people living above shops, and offices nearby. In fact he called it an office campus for govrrnment and that people leave the place on the weekends to have their fun in Rio or São Paulo. Now I don't know if that's true but architecturally it looks magnificent and there's a reason why it's a world heritage site. 😊🇧🇷

Once again, nailing it, Phil. I didn´t even know that Brasilia as a city got the UNESCO title - always learning from you ;) thank you and glad to see you around here again. Get ready for the next trip (possibly in the same manner to one of the two cities you have mentioned ;))

Rio e São Paulo são outros estudos bem longe esse professor e maluco. Seria uma loucura ir pra outro estado so pra se divertir

I'm from South Africa. Architecture and design has always been my first interest and that's why Brasilia has always been on my list of places to visit to see Oscar Niemeyer's works. Just letting you know that your description of some places remains long after it has moved to another place and also your photo in the bottom right corner covers the description.

Hi Nick, thanks for the kind comment. Actually, I was very accurate on the title and I think they should be 100% correct corresponding to the places shown. I have summarized some places into an area, e.g. the Metropolitan Church as part of "Eixo Monumental". Cheers and I hope you get to visit BSB one day! Greetings to ZA!
