Published 3 years, 5 months ago
Description
In 1960, Brazil opened a new capital city in its remote central plains.
The city was designed by modernist architect Oscar Niemeyer and was supposed to symbolise Brazil's future ambitions.
In 2014, Claire Bowes spoke to Osorio Machado, an engineer who worked on the city's construction.
