Built in the 1950s to showcase some of the world’s leading architects and their futuristic design vision, Brasilia, the federal capital of Brazil, was designed with imagination, innovation, and a futuristic urban aesthetic in mind, paved with good intentions. The brainchild of architect Oscar Niemeyer and urban planner Lucio Costa was proclaimed a UNESCO World Heritage site in 1987. But underneath soaring arches, dramatic towers, and whimsical spirals, the city is missing something – something that becomes clear when one observes the portraits of the other-worldy architecture: the people. Its public spaces and transit infrastructure were not designed with people in mind.
