Oscar Niemeyer was born on the 15th December, 1907, in the “Marvelous City”, Rio de Janeiro. Since his first drawings as a child, to his commission to design an entire new city, in the jungle, fifty years passed by. Back then, Brasilia's sensual and at the same time, Modern forms, brought him international acclaim. Fifty (more) years after, approaching his 104rd birthday, his first work in Spain is recently finished. Another travel in time, has lead me to Burl Marx's stone waves, when the challenge to this interview starts, more than on decade ago.
