Museu de Arte Contemporânea de Niterói tinha sido concluído ainda há poucos meses, quando o então prefeito da cidade, Jorge Roberto Silveira, convidou o arquiteto Oscar Niemeyer para uma nova empreitada. Pensando em revitalizar a zona central de Niterói, Jorge Roberto decidiu construir num terreno de 72.000 m² à beira mar, um complexo arquitetônico, voltado para a cultura e a religião da população. Certo de que seria um importante intervenção urbanística, o prefeito convidou Niemeyer para criar as edificações que, juntas com o MAC, formariam um caminho ao longo da orla, o Caminho Niemeyer.

Union Square (also known as Union Square Park) is an important and historic intersection in New York City, located where Broadway and the Bowery came together in the early 19th century. Today it is bounded by 14th Street, Union Square East, 17th Street, and Union Square West. It is run and operated jointly by the New York City Department of Parks and Recreation as well as the Metropolitan Transportation Authority.
In 1976, the Council on the Environment of New York City established the Greenmarket program, which provided regional small family farmers with opportunities to sell their fruits, vegetables and other farm products at open-air markets in the city. The most famous is the Union Square Greenmarket, held Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays, and Saturdays between 8 AM and 6 PM year round. 250,000 customers a week purchase 1,000 varieties of fruits and vegetables at the market. The variety of produce available is broader by perhaps a factor of ten than what is found in a conventional supermarket.
    Fundação Casa de Jorge Amado, South America

<iframe id='palyer22' src='https://www.youtube.com/embed/?listType=user_uploads&list=casadejorgeamado'></iframe id='palyer22'>
A Casa é belíssima e azul. Com sua fachada, onde as janelas afloram recortadas em arco, domina toda a praça.
Pensando bem, não teria sentido ser em outro lugar. Quem conhece a Cidade da Bahia e a obra de Jorge Amado sente que aqui mesmo é que deveria estar sediada a Instituição que leva o seu nome. A Fundação Casa de Jorge Amado não poderia ter outro endereço senão o Largo do Pelourinho, cenário de suas estórias, cadinho onde se tempera a humanidade bizarra desta metrópole fervilhante de etnias diversas, diferentes costumes, culturas que se misturam e formam a argamassa desta civilização mediterrânea e mestiça que se espalha pelo recôncavo do golfo pontilhado de ilhas e que tem na capital, nesta cidade do Salvador da Bahia de Todos os Santos, o terceiro vértice de um triângulo cuja base repousa entre África e Ibéria.

<iframe id='palyer24' width="420" height="315" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/nuqXXZkvJBA" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe id='palyer24'>
Começou a realizar filmagens (seu filme Pátio, de 1959, é o primeiro curta-metragem da Bahia) , ao mesmo tempo em que ingressou na Faculdade de Direito da Bahia (hoje um dos cursos da Universidade Federal da Bahia), entre 1959 a 1961), que logo abandonou para iniciar uma breve carreira jornalística, em que o foco era sempre sua paixão pelo cinema. Da faculdade foi o seu namoro e casamento com uma colega, Helena Ignez.
Sempre controvertido, escreveu e pensou cinema. Queria uma arte engajada ao pensamento e pregava uma nova estética, uma revisão crítica da realidade. Era visto pela ditadura militar que se instalou no país, em 1964, como um elemento subversivo.
Em 1971, com a radicalização do regime, Glauber partiu para o exílio, de onde nunca retornou totalmente. Fonte

    Palácio Tiradentes, South America
  Rua Primeiro de Março s/nº - Praça XV - Rio de Janeiro, RJ           
Com a mudança da Capital Federal para Brasília, em 1960 a cidade do Rio de Janeiro passou à qualidade de Estado da Guanabara e o Palácio Tiradentes passou a ser a sede da Assembléia Legislativa do Estado da Guanabara.

    Associação Brasileira de Imprensa - ABI, South America
  Rua Araújo Porto Alegre, 71 - Castelo - Rio de Janeiro, RJ           
Construído em três anos, de 1936 a 1939, o prédio da ABI, destaca-se inclusive por ter sido nele utilizada pela primeira vez a solução apresentada pelo legendário Le Corbusier para o problema do excesso de luz - o “brise-soleil”, quebra-sol através de persianas de concreto na fachada.
O edifício-sede da ABI foi tombado pelo Instituto do Patrimônio Histórico Estadual em 1965. Sua principal característica é a unidade, que dá a tônica do conjunto, tanto nas soluções plásticas quanto nas estruturais.
A história da fundação da ABI se confunde com a de seu perseverante idealizador Gustavo de Lacerda. Criada em 7 de abril de 1908, seu principal objetivo era assegurar à classe jornalística os direitos assistenciais e tornar-se um centro poderoso de ação. Segundo o próprio Lacerda, a Associação deveria ser um campo neutro em que se pudessem abrigar todos os trabalhadores da imprensa.
