Anna Maria Niemeyer
Brazilian architect (1929–2012) / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Anna Maria Baldo Niemeyer (16 December 1929 – 6 June 2012) was a Brazilian architect, furniture designer and gallery owner. The only child of Oscar Niemeyer, she worked with her father to design the civic buildings for Brasília, focusing primarily on interior spaces and decoration. When her father decided to make furniture to harmonize his structures with the design elements, she turned her interest to furniture designing. Her two most noted designs were the initial prototype called the "Alta" and the "Rio". In her later career, she ran an art gallery in Rio, which at one time was the only gallery in the city, and assisted in the creation of the Niterói Contemporary Art Museum.
In this Portuguese name, the first or maternal family name is Baldo and the second or paternal family name is Niemeyer.
