Here's a building that did definitely get built: Niteroi Art Museum in Rio de Janeiro:-
Architect Oscar Niemeyer is best known for his part in the design of Brasilia, a city that brought him both fame and criticism, as the planned Utopia turned into something of a dystopia and as public opinion moved against that kind of huge, overbearing city plan. Even so, the place now has Unesco Heritage status and some cool buildings too - but thank god, I don't have to live there. |

I woulda thought Brazil would offer a better bang for your buck.
You can probably still live on the cheap if you got the cajones.
