Trust me, you don’t have to be an expert or even a fan in order to appreciate 101 year-old Brazilian architect Oscar Niemeyer’s phenomenal designs. I got introduced to his work years ago while still assisting Polly. She did a shoot in Brazil with Nathaniel Goldberg for Allure and used some of his buildings as a location. Oscar Niemeyer Buildings from Rizzoli by Alan Hess came out last year and is an amazing gift for anyone, especially the design and beauty obsessed.
