    Tekhnê © Universidad Distrital Francisco José de Caldas July - December 2019, Vol. 16, No. 2, pp. 21 – 30 ISSN 1692-8407 The architectural influence of Óscar Niemeyer La influencia arquitectónica de Óscar Niemeyer Vladimir Muñoz V. Universidad Distrital Francisco José de Caldas [email protected] Marco S. Martínez L. Carlos D. Ortiz V. Universidad Distrital Francisco José de Caldas Universidad Distrital Francisco José de Caldas [email protected] [email protected] Óscar Ribeiro de Almeida Niemeyer was a great Brazilian architect with a peculiar style in his works. For him, architecture had to become a great work of art capable of touching people on an emotional level. Oscar Niemeyer is recognized for breaking the schemes that were held in architecture. Each of his works is governed by his feelings and way of understanding the world. His work places him as one of the best architects both professionally and personally. He left a legacy in the utilization of light and the use of external and internal spaces, as well as in the construction of flexible and usable materials. Niemeyer caused a global transformation that is not limited to the architectural sector, but also the political and social. Keywords: Architecture, construction, design, modernism, Niemeyer Óscar Ribeiro de Almeida Niemeyer fue un gran arquitecto brasileño con un estilo peculiar en sus obras. Para él la arquitectura debía convertirse en una gran obra de arte capaz de tocar a las personas a nivel emocional. Óscar Niemeyer es reconocido por romper los esquemas que se tenían en la arquitectura. Cada una de sus obras se rigen por sus sentimientos y forma de entender el mundo.

  • Acervo Arquitetônico De Oscar Niemeyer (Brazil)
    International Memory of the World Register Acervo arquitetônico de Oscar Niemeyer (Brazil) 2012-39 1.0 Summary (max 200 words) Oscar Niemeyer Foundation proposes the candidacy of its documentary collection, which consists of sketches, drawings, and album of the architect Oscar Niemeyer produced from 1938 to 2005. The collection consists of 8927 documents, with boards of sketches sets, boards of architectural albums and boards of technical drawings which form a valuable record of the work of an artist who marked the international architecture of the twentieth century. The sheer size of the set of documents and the fact that it covers not built projects of Oscar Niemeyer (often the only record of these), makes this collection an invaluable asset to be preserved. However, in addition to primary research sources, many of these documents are true works of art. The sketches and albums are original documents, rare and almost entirely, unique. They not only bring traces of free curves and poetic that marked the work of Niemeyer, but also revealed the architect's working method. Niemeyer produced albums to present his projects and he used them in the very process of creation. He designed his projects and wrote what he called "Necessary Explanation." In this process, he matured and validated his creation. 2.0 Nominator 2.1 Name of nominator (person or organization) Fundação Oscar Niemeyer (Oscar Niemeyer Foundation) 2.2 Relationship to the nominated documentary heritage Fundação Oscar Niemeyer is the legal custodian of the entire documentary heritage of Oscar Niemeyer and holds legal title to all rights in connection to the architect’s name, image, voice, signature and visual representations, as well as to the copyright and the trademark of products related to his work as per the Public Deed for the Assignment of Copyrights, Image Rights Management, registered at the 16th Office of Notary Public Records of Rio de Janeiro, book SL-44, p.

  • Yutaka Toyota Present
    Ministério do Turismo, Museu Oscar Niemeyer, Vonder and Atelier Yutaka Toyota present YUTAKA TOYOTA THE RHYTHM OF SPACE YUTAKA TOYOTA Reflections The Oscar Niemeyer Museum pre- sents the exhibition Yutaka Toyota: O Ritmo do Espaço (Yutaka Toyota: The Rhythm of Space), which brings together some of the most important productions of this artist who will celebrate his 90th birthday in 2021. The recipient of a vast number of awards, a sculptor, painter, draft- sman, engraver and scenographer, Toyota has already declared that he is more Brazilian than Japanese after spending a greater part of his life in Brazil than in Japan. He also emphasizes that: “I always continue to keep the Japanese spirit”. Besides his spirit, he has also brought from Japan the foundations of his educa- tion at the University of Tokyo, which has enhanced with his experience in our country and in Italy. Absorbing and processing the dif- ferences and similarities of the Western and Eastern cultures, in his production Toyota offers points and counterpoints that instigate us to reflect upon the unit, duality and complementarity, while we con- template the beauty of his works, in which we find ours reflections inserted in his universe. Regarding Toyota´s works, Niemeyer wrote: “I see them, at times, on a larger scale, like big metallic signs full of brilliance and light and feel that they are so beautiful that I would like to include them in our architecture”. Now the wish of the creator of the Oscar Niemeyer Museum will be fulfilled. We invite you to plunge into this uni- verse and to perceive that the works gain new forms with your move- ments and, as in the words of Mario Schenberg, your “observation is modi- fied by the very act of observing”.

  • How International Academic Mobility Can Contribute to Tourism
    Peer-Reviewed Article © Journal of International Students Volume 11, Issue 1 (2021), pp. 60-80 ISSN: 2162-3104 (Print), 2166-3750 (Online) doi: 10.32674/jis.v11i1.1670 ojed.org/jis The Touristudent: How International Academic Mobility Can Contribute to Tourism Mateus José Alves Pinto Eduardo Henrique Moscardi Ewerton Lemos Gomes Marcia Shizue Massukado Nakatani Federal University of Paraná, Brazil ABSTRACT This research aims to analyze how the activities and motivations of international students resemble those of a tourist. The survey-based study of international students enrolled in academic mobility proGrams in Curitiba (Brazil) demonstrated that the main motivation for students to participate in international mobility relates more to personal motivation (i.e., cultural exchange) than to academic purposes. International students also acknowledged that they enjoyed the city’s tourist attractions and overall services. The motivations for choosinG Curitiba are mainly the quality of life and the perceived safety of the city. Based on how students visit attractions and utilize tourist services, we propose the idea of the touristudent. Understanding international students’ motivations for mobility and their destination choice reinforces the significance that academic mobility proGrams have for tourism, and the implications of these findinGs are discussed for the tourism sector in Curitiba. Keywords: Brazil, international academic mobility, international students, student mobility, touristudent, tourism The number of international students in mobility doubled to reach 4,056,680 students from 2000 to 2013.
