  • Descrição: An obituary for architect Oscar Niemeyer, who died on Dec 5, 2012 at the age of 105, is presented. One of the last links to the founding generation of Modernist architects, Niemeyer indelibly shaped Brazil's architectural identity, immortalized in the monumental government buildings he created for the new capital, Brasilia. He became a household name there, if not a national hero. As a young draftsman he met Le Corbusier, who went to Rio in the 1930s to work with Lucio Costa and others on the seminal Ministry of Education and Health. Later Niemeyer was on the team that designed the United Nations headquarters (1950).
