Brasilia Digital TV Tower, Brasilia, Brasil

This is the Brasilia Digital TV Tower in Brasilia, Brazil. Inaugurated in April of 2012, this tower was designed by Oscar Niemeyer to resemble a flower. The structure leads to an antenna that broadcasts a signal out to the Federal District and its surroundings. The Tower also has two observatories that are located on each side of he building to mimic leaves on the steam of a flower. The higher of the two observatories is a restaurant that gives the diners a panoramic view of the city. The other observatory is used as an art gallery with similar views of the city. Oscar Niemeyer’s use of curves and abstract shapes can be seen here as the entire structure has smooth lines.
