• Abstract:

  Through bibliographical studies and comparative analyses, based on the concepts established by the architect Francis Ching, we seek a deeper study of the pavilion project for the Serpentine Gallery, the work of the Brazilian architect Oscar Niemeyer. The Pavilion, inserted in the last phase of his professional career, expressed the main characteristics of his architecture, as a project synthesis. Another intention of the study is to understand and expose the legacy of the Brazilian architect, his contributions to architecture in Brazil and on the international scene. Qualitative research is used, using photos, plans, elevations, among other representations of content related to Niemeyer's architecture. Such compilation of analyzes demonstrate the grandeur of the artist's contributions to the construction scenario, its lightness, originality, simplicity and organicity.
