“I am not attracted to straight angles or to the straight line, hard and inflexible, created by man. I am attracted to free-flowing, sensual curves.”
葡萄牙语
“我不被直角或直线吸引,那是人类创造的僵硬和死板。我被自由流动的、感性的曲线所吸引。”
《时间的曲线:奥斯卡·尼迈耶回忆录》,2000年
“Architecture was my way of expressing my ideals: to be simple, to create a world equal to everyone, to look at people with optimism.”
葡萄牙语
“建筑是我表达理想的方式:追求简洁,创造一个人人平等的世界,以乐观的目光看待人们。”
