Perhaps one of the most well-known buildings around the world is The United Nations Headquarters in New York City, and Oscar Niemeyer was assigned as one of the youngest head designers of the building. The above picture is the board of designers who worked on the United Nations with Oscar being in the very center of the shot and one of the few looking at the camera.

Impressed with his work in the World’s Fair during his time, Oscar, was brought on board to help design this important building. And one can definitely see Oscar’s designs with the use of concrete and the way some of the extensions of the facility curve.

 Being that The United Nations Headquarters is such a well-known and important building I figured this would be an excellent introduction into Oscar’s most famous building designs.
