Brasília

This Overview captures the urban plan of Brasilia. The city was founded on April 21, 1960, in order to move the capital from Rio de Janeiro to a more central location within Brazil. The design — resembling an airplane from above — was developed by Lúcio Costa and prominently features the modernist buildings of the celebrated architect Oscar Niemeyer at its center. /// Created by @benjaminrgrant, source imagery: @digitalglobe
