Break into Brasilia, the city of the future, a paradise of inspiration for architecture students.

When people's imagination of Brazil still stays at the passionate samba and mysterious rainforest, Brasilia, this futuristic city, is like an isolated architectural pearl, subverting all conventional impressions. If you are an architecture fan, especially an architecture student with dreams, this is definitely a sketching paradise that you cannot miss. When you step into Brasilia, the first thing that catches your eye is the geometric monomers in the manuscripts, which proudly stand out above the horizon. The square National Congress Building, the uniquely shaped Presidential Palace, and the bird-shaped Brasilia Cathedral, each building seems to have jumped out of the blueprint and stood between heaven and earth. Standing under these magnificent buildings, people seem to be enveloped in a huge architectural frame, small yet deeply shocked. At this point, the paintbrush in my hand is already impatient. Every line and every angle is a bold stroke in the history of architecture. No matter how you frame the scene, you can get amazing sketches. The central axis is the backbone of Brasilia. Although it lacks some of the hustle and bustle of life, it has more solemnity. Under the scorching sun, tourists are heading towards the Square of the Three Powers. The Three Powers Square is the core landmark of Brasilia. It houses the Congress, the Presidential Palace and the Supreme Court, symbolizing Brazil's executive, legislative and judicial powers. Here, the heavy sense of history and politics hits you in the face, making you unable to help but slow down and savor the stories. Even larger than the Square of the Three Powers are the specially opened parking lots nearby, which also indirectly reflects the unique planning of this city. When you stroll near government offices, the scene suddenly changes. The place is filled with lush trees, which contrast beautifully with the buildings that are shaped like hospital buildings. What’s surprising is that this is the real vibrant center of the city. Various social groups organize activities around the tree stump, which is very lively and reminiscent of the matriarchal society in the tropical rainforest. You can join them, feel the Brazilians' love for life and community cohesion, and experience the soft side of this modern city amid laughter and joy. Besides the architecture, there is much more to explore in Brasilia. For example, the National Stadium, its unique design is inspired by traditional Indian hand-woven hats. Here, you can feel the perfect fusion of sports and culture. When night falls, go to the lakeside to enjoy the night view of the city. The sparkling lake reflects the city lights, which is like a dream. In Brasilia, accommodation options are also diverse. If your budget is limited, you can choose a youth hostel and meet travelers from all over the world; if you are looking for comfort, star-rated hotels in the city center can meet your needs and you can also enjoy convenient transportation and city views. When it comes to food, don’t miss the Brazilian barbecue. The tender and juicy barbecue is paired with the special black bean rice and a glass of local sugarcane wine. It is simply a carnival for your taste buds. Get your sketchbook ready, bring your passion for exploration, and come to Brasilia to embark on a wonderful journey of architecture and culture. I believe you will definitely leave unforgettable memories here.
