Abstract

The recent inauguration of the Oscar Niemeyer Pavilion in the tourist complex of the Château La Coste winery (2022), in France, is taken by this article as an opportunity to raise questions about the methodological procedures of the Brazilian architect. Recurrent aspects are recognized in his way of designing, which go back to the period when his work matured, in the 1940s and 1950s. This movement suggests comparisons with other artistic operators: from his neighbor Richard Serra (with a recent work in the same complex) to Steven Spielberg, borrowed here as a guide for a theoretical detour that reaffirms the arguments.
