Gentle undulating curves. Quiae a wide base and in a 1950s' context, pretty amazing.

Up-close, I don't like the louvres. Looks good in aerials.

Massive, 6/10

7.5/10

massive and unique

5.5/10

Massive and unique, but the facade is just ugly. Reclad it in glass, it would easily be an 8.

Massive and the curves look nice.

I give this note because I think it is quite unique and massive not to mention that it is a Niemeyer.

For some people the "formula" to all buildings is glass, glass, glass... Can´t you admire anything else? Imagine if all the buildings were made of glass, how boring it would be!

8/10 - good representation from its period.

9.5/10

one of the best buildings in the world, unique, good example in the use of concrete, the curv is soberb, sensual, beautifull facade, expressive!

Eu desconfio que esses palhaços que só falam em vidro, vidro nem devem gostar de arquitectura. Revestir o copan com vidro seria uma ideia 100% idiota.

8/10 Classic... How about a little face lift and it would looke even better

Pois é, pq é Oscar Niemeyer, quem teria coragem de cometer um tal sacrilégio? :cheers:

Mas vidro fica legal, talvez ficaria legal no Copan, mas tiraria o "charme" talvez

E ele é RESIDENCIAL! Façam isso com o Ed. Itália. Isso sim ficaria legal! Ou trocar todos os vidros do Zarzur Kogan, aí sim! :cheers:

It's just that style, that anyone likes?

Oh yeah you're so smart. So what he thinks the building is bad? I don't like it much too. I think we're all entitled to our own opinion and you should respect it.
