AESTHATICS
This building is a critical reflection of art culture
and nature
At first a concept is developes .Then the
concept starts to take form by including the
functions attached to it. Then, this formis
further shaped structurally and materially.
Finally, the form is realized in three
dimensionsbytakingcareofthesoundrelated(a
coustics),lightrelated(illumination)andspatial
considerations
And thus a building with such aesthatics is
created

The DESIGN .It yields the feeling of
balanced emotion, with two
opposing sides intersected by a
symbol of equality. Whether the
cup is half full or half empty, it is
the justice of the national congress
of Brazil that provides the true
balance. Niemeyers vision is alive
and well in the Brazilian congress of
today.
