Oscar Niemeyer died today at 104 years of age.RIP
He was the architect responsible for the futuristic design of Brazils Capital. Brasilia.

The curiosity is that he used a lot of curves to create very interesting buldings.

Here are some images

Or this:




The building of the French Communist Party is also Niemeyer's. Of course, it's ugly as hell:




The UN Building in New-York is a partnership between Niemeyer and the infamous Le Corbusier, on a land purchased by the Rockefeller's.



If that's beautiful, I might be turned into a pink elephant. :wavey:
