I worked for 3 months in a building projected by Oscar Niemeyer. It was an horrible experience.
The building is on this foto [1], the Jetsons-like structure in the front didn't exist back then. It was just the long white slab on the back, without windows. Behind there is a preserved rainforest. The place is very humid and, for aesthetic reasons, the building had no windows and horrible ventilation. It was cold and very moldy and respiratory diseases were very common among the staff.
As some people say in Brazil, as an architect, Niemeyer was a very good sculptor.
However, some brazilian disciples of him (e.g: Ruy Ohtake) are actually careful about the comfort and well being within their projects.
