My work is not about 'form follows function,' but 'form follows beauty' or, even better, 'form follows feminine.'

Oscar Niemeyer

Curves are the essence of my work because they are the essence of Brazil, pure and simple.

Oscar Niemeyer

I had some good opportunities. I was lucky to have had the chance to do things differently. Architecture is about surprise.

Oscar Niemeyer

My ambition has always been to reduce a building's support to a minimum. The more we diminish supporting structures, the more audacious and important the architecture is. That has been my life's work.

Oscar Niemeyer

I am a Brazilian before I am an architect. I cannot separate the two.
