Architectural wonders

The apostle Lucas and cathedral in Brasilia

Water garden around one of the government buildings

Met yesterday and today with Luz, a good friend of Oscar Gonzales of A_Rocha_Peru. Today we looked around the downtown area famous for its spectacular modern architecture. Visually for me the place had an amazing effect - wide open spaces and big sky (sort of like Kansas), dazzling architecture, sculptures and water gardens surrounding the buildings, then to top it off an incredible sunset. (But at what environmental cost for this architectural elegance I don't know.)

Had hoped to meet members of A_Rocha_Brasil to learn about their projects here but Luz was unable to reach one of her contacts and another was out of town.
