Estádio Nacional Brasilia, Brazil

Designed and planned by Lucio Costa and Oscar Niemeyer and constructed within three years in a heroic tour de force, Brasília is the only new 20th-century city to be declared a World Heritage site by UNESCO. As a built manifesto of a car-centered, functionally separated city, it is with its monumental and sculptural public buildings one of the icons of modernism.
