完整圖錄內容
I have a vivid memory of meeting Niemeyer in his studio overlooking the beach at Copacabana. Every time one of us mentioned one of his buildings he took out a thick black pencil, a sheet of kitchen paper, and drew the cross section in one fluid line. I had just been to see the Casa de Canoas. He drew it, his assistant folded it up and handed it to me.
