Palácio da Alvorada, is the much like America’s own white house in that this is a governmental building and the current home of the President of Brazil. This building was designed by Oscar Niemeyer on request of the Brazilian president of his time, and who was a close friend of Oscar Niemeyer as well. This building is beautifully built and designed and just screams the sort of style that oozes off Oscar’s work much like the Contemporary Art Museum.

The building here is, of course, built in Oscar’s modernist style. The building is in an area of 7,000 square metres that is distributed along three floors: basement, landing and second floor. The second floor is where the current president of lives while the rest of the building is for governmental use.
