Renowned architect Oscar Niemeyer dies, aged 104

He designed some of the most amazing architecture of the last 60 years, including the United Nations building in NYC and the Roman Catholic National Cathedral in the capital of Brazil, Brasilia.

Here is a picture I took of the Museum of Contemporary Art in Niteroi, Brazil in 2009.
