7 and half pages of a boring interview and 37 pages of generic photos is not quite what i would call "a book". Litteraly, that's all there was to it! I was hoping that there would be some discriptions and history behind some of his famous works such as the Museum that's on the front cover. There was a 2 page spread of a terrible photo of the museum and that was it. In fact, all the photos of his works has no discriptions.
VERY disappointing i must say. i don't recommend it. Now have a 6 x 8 inch paper weight collecting dust. How nice!

Curves of Time: Oscar Niemeyer Memoirs

exquisite photos of many beautiful, interesting and progressive architectural works. surprising revelations about his politics and friendships in socialism. unexplored criticism and praise for his last 15 years of practice. he is now 100 years old, our last link to the origens of Modern Architecture!

very fine presentation.

I have to say I was disappointed in this book. It is small in size and does not do justice to Niemeyer's work with some images spread over two pages making it difficult to see them. There was also hardly any information on either the works or Niemeyer. If you are after some good images and information I would recommend you look at other books rather than this one.
