dc.descriptionClose view of statute of Kubitschek on top of tower; The leftist position of Niemeyer cost him much during the military dictatorship. The Brazilian dictatorship lasted until 1985. Under João Figueiredo's rule it softened and gradually turned into a democracy. At this time Niemeyer decided to return to his country. During that decade he made the Memorial Juscelino Kubitschek (1980). Kubitschek was President of Brazil from 1956 to 1961, the period that saw the construction of the new capital, Brasília.
