Auditório Ibirapuera - Oscar Niemeyer

This guide to the Auditório Ibirapuera in São Paulo follows a building that waited half a century to exist. Oscar Niemeyer drew it in 1951 for his master plan of Ibirapuera Park, but landmark disputes kept it a sketch for decades. You'll hear how construction finally broke ground in 2002, and what it took for the architect, by then nearly a hundred, to see it built. Listen for the pavilions that rose around this one gap.
