This is the Alvorada Palace in Brasilia, Brazil. Niemeyer finished construction between 1957 and 1958 near Lake Paranoa. This building serves as the official residence of the President of Brazil. Niemeyer used a combination of water, glass, and marble in order to achieve the modern look that he wanted for this structure. Furthermore, the columns that are seen on the side of the building have become symbolic to the country and can be found on the flag as well as the Coat of Arms for the capital of the Republic.
