# CLASSIC ARCHITECTURES /// Casa das Canoas by Oscar Niemeyer

Posted on December 22, 2010 By Léopold Lambert

Here are some pictures (courtesy of weyerdk) of Oscar Niemeyer’s Casa das Canoas in Rio de Janeiro, built in 1953 and which used to be his own house. This symbiosis with rocks drives me crazy !
Merci Nicolas !

THE FUNAMBULIST

The Funambulist is a research platform written and edited by Léopold Lambert.

Its name is inspired by a wondering/wandering on the line as architects' medium. A line on the white page splits in reality two milieus from one another and organizes politically the bodies in space. The act of walking on the line (funambulist means tight-rope walker) is an act of subversion of the traditional role of the line/wall.

The Funambulist is also accessible via Facebook and Twitter
