Cathedral of Brasilia by Oscar Niemeyer

This Cathedral was designed by Oscar Niemeyer and inaugurated in 1970. The building consists of sixteen boomerang-shaped concrete colums, with glazed panels around them, and a thin concrete slab on top. Columns are held in place by a concrete ring at the base.

Originally, the concrete was exposed, but later painted white to preserve the material and contrast with other colors.

The access to the building is through a descending ramp that is framed with statues of the Apostles.

One needs to pass through a dark space to get to the inside of the building that has abundant light. It's the paralel Niemeyer did of the human soul finding redemption.
