If you are looking for buildings built by Brazilian architectures in Germany, you will come across one fact: there is only one. It is an Oscar Niemeyer building in the Hansaviertel, which brings the Architecture in Berlin from the Post-War Modernism to another level. One of the most prominent Brazilian architects of all time was part of a group of more than 50 architects and landscape architects who were behind the reconstruction of West Berlin.
Oscar Niemeyer participated, together with Walter Gropius, Alvar Aalto, Pierre Vago, Le Corbusier and many other great names of Modernist Architecture, in Interbau 57, the International Exhibition of Architecture of 1957, which took place in a divided Berlin badly damaged by the bombing of World War II. The result of the exhibition was the reconstruction of the Hansa neighborhood, or Hansaviertel.
The following video not only highlights Oscar Niemeyer's work in Berlin, but also informs s a little about Interbau 57, giving the historical context in which it emerged. It also highlights other projects that have been accomplished by star architects in the Hansaviertel.
