EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the early stages of construction of The palace of the National Congress in Brasilia, Brazil. Captured on 1st November 1968, it showcases the Plaza of the Three Powers government buildings designed by renowned architect Oscar Niemeyer. The image reveals a scene filled with bustling workmen and towering cranes against a backdrop of modernist structures. Rising above the flat roof are two striking cupolas that serve as unmistakable symbols for the assembly chambers of Brazil's bicameral legislature. As we gaze upon this snapshot frozen in time, we can't help but marvel at the grandeur and ambition behind this architectural masterpiece. The intricate details and sleek lines characteristic of Niemeyer's style are already evident even in its unfinished state. Brasilia itself was a groundbreaking project, an audacious endeavor to create a purpose-built capital city from scratch. This photograph encapsulates not only the physical progress made during its construction but also represents an era defined by innovation and forward-thinking design. Freddie Reed skillfully captures both the magnitude and beauty inherent in this momentous undertaking through his lens. This print serves as a testament to human ingenuity, reminding us that great achievements often require visionaries like Oscar Niemeyer who dare to dream beyond conventionality.
