🇧🇷 Brasília: A 14-Hour Architectural Pilgrimage (Part 1)

Continuing my Oscar Niemeyer world tour—here’s why Brazil’s capital is a concrete fever dream: 🏛️ Iconic Stops Catedral Metropolitana ▸ Cerulean dome that makes heaven jealous. ☁️💙 Palácio Itamaraty (MFA HQ) ▸ Book 24h ahead—the infinity pools mirror the sky. 🌊 (Worth the bureaucracy!) Palácio da Justiça ▸ Dry waterfalls (under renovation 😢), but the "bamboo-esque" concrete fins cast ever-changing shadows. ☀️🎋 Soviet-Chic Housing Blocks ▸ Brutalist symmetry meets Brazilian lounging—"Communist leisure core" unlocked. 😂 🤔 Thoughts Niemeyer’s curves + Brasília’s scale = awe meets alienation. But then... someone naps on a brutalist bench, and it all feels human again. #NiemeyerMagic #ConcretePoetry #ArchitecturePorn #BrazilTravel
