Juscelino Kubitschek
Juscelino Kubitschek, in full Juscelino Kubitschek De Oliveira (born Sept. 12, 1902, Diamantina, Brazil — died Aug. 22, 1976, near Resende), president of Brazil (1956–61) noted for his ambitious public works, especially the construction of the new capital, Brasília.
  Kubitschek attended the Diamantina Seminary, worked his way through medical school at the University of Minas Gerais (graduated 1927), and did internships in surgery in Paris, Vienna, and Berlin. He became head of the surgical division of the military Medical Corps of the state of Minas Gerais in 1932 and represented Minas Gerais in the Federal Chamber of Deputies from 1934 to 1937 and 1946 to 1950. As mayor of Belo Horizonte (1940–1945) he distinguished himself in city planning and the establishment of medical clinics and other public service facilties. As governor of Minas Gerais (1951–55) he concentrated on highway construction, power plants, and agricultural and industrial development.
  Kubitschek campaigned for president on a platform of “power, transportation, and food” and won in a three-man race as the perceived political heir of the deceased Brazilian president Getúlio Vargas. While in office Kubitschek pushed forward the rapid development of Brazil’s machinery, hydroelectric, steel, and other heavy industries, and he built 11,000 miles (18,000 km) of new roads and highways. Most important, perhaps, he moved the national capital from Rio de Janeiro to a new city called Brasília lying 600 miles (1,000 km) inland from the coast. Kubitschek intended the new inland capital to accelerate the settlement and development of Brazil’s vast interior. The price of his ambitious development efforts was persistent and rapid inflation, however, a problem exacerbated by the need to spend vast sums for the rehabilitation of the drought-afflicted northeast region. Elected to the Senate in 1962, Kubitschek was nominated for president by the Social Democratic Party in 1964. The military junta that took power that same year forced him into exile. He returned to Brazil in 1967 to become a banker. He died in an automobile crash.

Catetinho
Catetinho designed by architect Oscar Niemeyer is the first building ever built in Brasilia. Catetinho is the house where Juscelino Kubitschek lived while the city was built from 1956 to 1960. Brasilia is one of the only cities in the world that was completely planned, and the building of the city in just 4 short years is a first in the world. Catetinho is now open to the public, and has been turned into a mini-museum about the city's history and the life of Juscelino Kubitschek.

Palácio da Alvorada
The Palácio da Alvorada is the official residence of the President of Brazil. It is located in the national capital of Brasília, on a peninsula at the margins of Paranoá Lake. The building was designed by Oscar Niemeyer and built between 1957 and 1958 in the modernist style. It has been the residence of every Brazilian president since Juscelino Kubitschek. The building is listed as a National Historic Heritage Site.
  The building was initially referred to as the "Presidential Palace". The name "Palácio da Alvorada" ("Palace of Dawn") comes from a quote by Juscelino Kubitschek: “What is Brasília, if not the dawn of a new day for Brazil?”
  The Palácio da Alvorada was the first government structure built in the new federal capital. Construction began on April 3, 1957, and was completed on June 30, 1958. Niemeyer's project was based on the principles of simplicity and modernity.
  The building has an area of 7,000 square metres (75,000 sq ft) distributed along three floors: basement, landing and second floor. Located in adjacent buildings within palace grounds are the chapel and the heliport. The basement level houses the movie theater, game room, kitchen, laundry, medical center, and the building's administration.
