The city is also
home to works of renowned architects such as Oscar Niemeyer, who also designed the capital city of Brasilia.
Illinois-based Garry Niemeyer, President of the National Corn Growers Association, presents a
concise cost-benefit summary: He pays $0.40/bushel to ship corn via barge.
Sir Otto Niemeyer, a representative of the English banks who visited in mid-1930,
proposed a deflationary plan, involving cuts to government spending and wages.
Designed by Oscar Niemeyer with the assistance of structural engineer Bruno Contarini,
who had worked with Niemeyer on earlier projects, the MAC-Niterói is 16 meters high;
The museum projects itself over Boa Viagem(“Bon Voyage,”“Good Journey”) beach and also a neighborhood, the 817 square metres(8,790 sq ft)
reflecting pool that surrounds the cylindrical base“like a flower,” in the words of Niemeyer.
Since the choice of the Mirante da Boa Viagem by Oscar Niemeyer, the entire creation of the architectural form of the MAC-
circular suspended in front of the Guanabara Bay with a spiral ramp- already expresses in itself the power of the museum as a place that celebrates the special encounter between freedom of artistic creation and society as parts of the world-landscape.
