Answer
Oscar Niemeyer's architecture was influenced by Le Corbusier, who was a Swiss-French architect, designer, urban planner, and theorist. Le Corbusier's work was characterized by its use of geometric forms, such as squares and rectangles, and its use of concrete as a building material. Niemeyer's work also incorporated these elements, but he often used curved forms instead of straight lines.
