Sorry, I don´t speak English. I’m Brazilian and I know Brasília! The city is barely pretty even in pictures. Seeing its constructions and architecture close up, it´s not very impressive! It´s an ugly place, without greenery (as can be seen in the pictures you posted here: there´s not a single tree, in other words, no shade), in the middle of nowhere, very hot and dry. Oh, and it´s infested with thieves, especially in the palaces! Haha Again, sorry for not speaking English. [English translation of Snaga´s post:]

Einmal sieht man, wie sich die Architekten und Gründerväter vorgestellt haben, wie sich die Bürger in der Stadt bewegen sollen und das andere Foto zeigt, wie die Bürger selber entscheiden, wo sie langgehen. Man muss hierzu anmerken, dass die Gründerväter die Stadt komplett für den Autoverkehr auslegten (und das im Jahr 1960! Damals hatten selbst viele Deutsche noch kein Auto, geschweige denn die ärmeren Brasilianer). [...] [...] Dieser Blogeintrag zeigt uns zwei Fotos der Stadt Brasilia.

One aspect that is often overlooked by architects is the ideology of Niemeyer's buildings. He is a raging communist, and all his designs are very monummental, in a way to picture the BIG state that communists work to build. But the acommodations for people are very unconfortable (small rooms, small chairs, lots of underground spaces, dependant on ar-conditioning and artificial lighting) - as to inform the citizens that they are small, insignificant in relation to the state. Great post!

Sorry, I no speak inglish. Sou brasileiro (I'm brasilian) e conheço Brasília! A cidade é bonita apenas em fotos. Vendo de perto suas construções e sua arquitetura, ela nada impressiona! O lugar é feio, sem arborização (como pode ser visto nas fotos que você postou aqui: não existem uma árvore sequer, ou seja, sem sombras), no meio do nada, muito quente e seco. Ah, e é infestada de ladrões, principalmente nos palácios! hehe Mais uma vez, perdoem-me por não falar em inglês. Hello! Sorry, I no speak inglish.
