The design of Brasilia is credited to Lucio Costa, but the vast majority of buildings are creations of the famous Brazilian architect Oscar Niemeyer.

One exception is the Brasilia TV tower, who is a direct creation of Lucio Costa. The TV Tower is located in the Monumental Axis. The construction started on 1965 and ended on 1967. The tower has 224m and houses many transmission equipments. This tower is the second tallest tower in Brasilia and is also one of the most noticeable.
