A collection of old images of the Brasilian capitol taken from contemporary books and magazines of the 1960s
Birds-eye view of central mall
Bird-in-trees-eye view of central mall
Congress hall
Three more views of Congress hall from Plaza of Three Powers
Presidential Palace
Ministry buildings under construction - not sure which one is Ministry of Silly Walks
Commercial buildings in Brasilia under construction
Central bus terminal - three views
Congress Hall B&W views
Presidential Palace B&W
Palace Hotel B&W
Residential sections - early Brasilians got two flavours of state-owned housing, row houses or flatblocks. The private residence district was across a lake.
Grand plan of Brasilia. Sorta shaped like a dragonfly
Concept sketch by Oscar Neimeyer - Temple of Syrinx on right
Reflecting pool behind Congress hall
Artsey National Geographic shot - oddly enough their 1960 article about the city didn't have any useful photos. Got this from a later article.
More artsey photos
The ministry buildings - we've taken care of everything, the words you hear, the songs you sing, the pictures that give pleasure to your eyes...
The foreign ministry - in 1964 the Brasilian president was overthrown and the military ruled for about 21 years when they finally couldn't print enough money to buy the people's love.
The National Cathedral
Monument to the dudes who built this crazy town. Throw it up for Brasilia!
