In 1959, Harrington photographed Oscar Niemeyer and the construction of the city of Brasilia. The modernist architecture of Brazil's capital city is striking, and Harrington captured the lives of the construction workers as well as the buildings. The workers lived in an adjacent area called Freetown.
