Federal Supreme Court Museum

Whilst most buildings are typically cuboid in nature, in Brasília these shapes are often exaggerated; the hotel I stayed in had its rooms lined up along three lenghthy floors, whilst the tall, thin offices of the National Congress rise above a shallow and wide building below. Sometimes these lines are contrasted against soft curves. Again, the National Congress is an example of this, but the large dome of the Museum of the Republic is also hard to miss. Niemeyer remarked that his curves are symbolic of Brazilian women.
