Architecture is truly meaningful when it doesn't try to take center stage. It becomes a mirror of the values and philosophy of its time. Niemeyer himself wrote about the headquarters of the Communist Party: “Our shared views and political struggle were far more important than architecture."
Niemeyer designed a building meant to give birth to a new society. It looks almost like a spaceship — detached from the familiar laws of earth, a place where people could rethink the rules of life and interaction. Open, futuristic spaces, where floors flow into walls and walls into ceilings, seem to gently push you toward freedom of thought.
