Brasília, 4/22/2003 (Agência Brasil - ABr) - According to the man who idealized the construction of Brasilia, architect Oscar Niemeyer, what the city needs for its 43rd birthday (which was yesterday) is a museum.

In an exclusive Radiobras interview, the doyen of Brazillian architects (he was born in 1907) declared that Brasilian must remain a city model. Niemeyer said the way to do that was to build outside the city in the so-called satillite cities which surround it. (AB)
