Brazil National Congress Building

This is the Brazilian National Congress building. Finished in 1970, the two different domes hold the space for the two separate bodies of congress in Brazil. The semi-sphere on the left is home to the Senate while the semi-sphere on the right houses the Chamber of the Deputies. Niemeyer’s use of curved lines are evident here as well is his use of the water to reflect the architecture of the building.
