Niterói Contemporary Art Museum
A 1996 saucer-shaped museum overlooking Guanabara Bay, approached by a long curving ramp.
Its sculptural form frames and is framed by the surrounding landscape.
The silhouette itself became a brand image and a late icon of Brazilian modernism.
Structure and foundations support the form under demanding coastal conditions.
Architect Oscar Niemeyer
