Brasilien<\/strong>
\nBrasil er navnet p\u00e5 landet Brasilien p\u00e5 portugisisk. Brasilien er det 5. st\u00f8rste land i verden m\u00e5lt p\u00e5 territorium. Landet er hjem til den st\u00f8rste by p\u00e5 kloden’s sydlige halvdel Sao Paulo der samtidigt er en af verdens st\u00f8rste byer.
\nNew York might have been the template for Gotham City’s dark big city universe. But in real life Sao Paulo is much more intimidating. NY has a midtown and a downtown with a number of very tall and very significant buildings. But many other parts of the city do not have any significant highrises. Sao Paulo on the other hand does not tend to have many very tall buildings but a huge number of high buildings making up an entire forrest of buildings without any apparent fixpoints to pinpoint what is up and down, what is east or west. Thus orientation is difficult. The city continues without no apparent end into the horizon.

\nIn many American cities the traditional city center does not constitute a functional city center as known from Europe with the main attractions of the city gathered within close proximity in the geographical center of the urban area. There might be a traditional city center with the remains from the colonial epoque but of often the city center is run down and rather dangerous. Instead with the advance of the automobile the center is more dispersed in an LA way and different neighborhoods appeal to different people or activities. Sao Paulo is such a post-modern city. Nevertheless a few important architectual pieces are located downtown as COPAS and Edificio Italia.
\n\"Edificio
\nThe buildings date back to the 1960s before the city started to spread out in all directions and the gravity would slowly move towards other areas of the city.
\nSP is an immigration city. It has communities from innumerous nationalities, religions, ethnicities and\u00a0from across the world. SP is micro-cosmos with representatives from just about everywhere. The biggest Japanese community outside of Japan is located here.
\n\"Sao<\/a>

\nIn many ways the development of Brazil is synomynous with the development of SP as a city.
\nRio de Janeiro used to be the political, financial, and cultural capital. When Brasilia was built as the new capital of Brazil during the 1960s the epicenter of political power was also transferred. During the 1980s the financial sector moved to SP as well as many corporations. What Rio de Janeiro was left with was media like TV Globo and cultural institutions. Even the status as beach capital of Brazil came under threat with the advent of Florianopolis to the south of the country.
\n\"Rio
\nOther cities like Curitiba, Belo Horizonte established themselves as important regional centers but all to\u00a0the south east of the country. The NorthEast Nordeste remained largely untouched with old ways and power structures remaining intact.
\nNiemeyer<\/strong>
\nNobody epitomizes the development of Brazil in the second part of the 20th century and into the 21st century like architect Oscar Niemeyer. A man who lived through the entire period and set his footprint on events while at the same time being affected by political developments at the personal level.
\n\"Oscar<\/a>
\n 
\nNiemeyer was born in 1907 and died in 2012. He was active at work until few days before his death.
\nNiemeyer is the father of children as well as many aforistic quotes.

\nWe will bring a couple of the most relevant for this context here below:
\nRight angles don’t attract me. Nor straight, hard and inflexible lines created by man.<\/span>
\n<\/span>
\nCurves are the essence of my work because they are the essence of Brazil, pure and simple<\/span>
\n<\/span>
\nMy work is not about ‘form follows function,’ but ‘form follows beauty’ or, even better, ‘form follows feminine.<\/span>
\n<\/span>
\nHumanity needs dreams to be able to survive the miseries of daily existence, even if only for an instant.<\/span>
\n<\/span>
\nFor me beauty is valued more than anything – the beauty that is manifest in a curved line or in an act of creativity.<\/span>
\n<\/span>
\nI search for surprise in my architecture. A work of art should cause the emotion of newness.
\n<\/span>
\n\u00a0Brasilien |\u00a0Landet<\/strong>
\nPerhaps the most beautiful quote of them all and the one that puts the pulse on what Brazil is all about:
\nIt is not the right angle that attracts me, nor the straight line, hard and inflexible, created by man. What attracts me is the free and sensual curve \u2014 the curve that I find in the mountains of my country, in the sinuous course of its rivers, in the body of the beloved woman.<\/span>
\nThe Brazil is an ode to the woman, to nature as such with its enormous variety and richness of the Amazonia maybe the most fertile area in the world, costal line with the beaches where Brazilians spend so much\u00a0of their life, even the football which is also such an important part of the average Brazilian’s everyday life tends to be curved and round.

\nBandeira do Brasil | Flaget<\/strong>
\nThe Brazilian flag is one of the most significant in its visual expression in the world.
\n\"The
\nA common interpreation of the flag:
\ngreen for the Amazonia forrest
\nyellow for the gold of Minas Gerais
\nblue for the sky over Brazil and the water ?
\n27 stars one for each federal state
\nand finally a quote by Comte:
\nL’amour pour principe et l’ordre pour base; le progr\u00e8s pour but<\/i>
\nLove as guiding principle, order as the foundation, progress as goal.
\nThe flag is from 1889 during a period of time where there was firm belief in progress of mankind, an idea which came under certain pressure after the carnage of the World War I.
\nBut in this context it explains the ORDEM E PROGRESSO as written on the flag.

\nNobody mentions Brazil without including football in first or second phrase.
\nAnd nobody ranks above Pele.
\n\"Pele
\nThe Brazilian national team is often referred to simply as a Selecao.
\nOften the team is referred to also as penta-campeao because penta in Greek is 5 and the team has won the World Cup 5 times.
