Résumé:

"The Churches of Oscar Niemeyer" is an illustrated catalogue with plans, drawings and color photographs of 16 churches and chapels designed by internationally acclaimed ultra-modern architect Oscar Niemeyer. A radical communist since his younger days, Niemeyer explains that there is no contradiction between his Stalinist atheist ideals and his church projects "When I design a cathedral, I realize that the pleasure I feel from its successful completion is dwarfed by the importance allocated by those who will frequent it, for there they believe to be themselves closer to God. For them, the supreme being that, omnipotent, created all. This is how I can justify this contradiction, as some people mention, between my position as a communist and my interest in designing projects of religious nature."--P. [5].
