This digital broadcasting tower on the northern edge of Brasília was one of Oscar Niemeyer's last major works, completed in 2012. Rising above the cerrado, it features two curving concrete blossoms partway up its shaft that house a viewing platform, echoing the organic forms of the architect's late style. The white structure stands apart from the original central tower, serving newer transmission needs while offering wide views over the plateau. Its sculptural silhouette adds another Niemeyer landmark to the skyline.
