Here’s one of my favorite images from the Where We Design chapter of “Overview". This one captures the urban plan of Brasilia, Brazil. The city was founded on April 21, 1960 in order to move the capital from Rio de Janeiro to a more central location within the country. The design - resembling an airplane from above - was developed by Lúcio Costa and prominently features the modernist buildings of the celebrated architect Oscar Niemeyer at its center.
