The Supreme Federal Court Palace is the seat of the Supreme Federal Court, Brazilian highest appealing court and constitutional court. It was designed by architect Oscar Niemeyer and the structural project was carried out by engineer Joaquim Cardozo.[1]
It is part of the Praça dos Três Poderes (Three Powers Plaza), whose other buildings are the Palácio do Planalto presidential palace and the National Congress. The building was declared a national heritage site by the National Institute of Historic and Artistic Heritage (IPHAN) in 2007, the year that Niemeyer turned 100.[2]
