Oscar Niemeyer, Architect turns 102

December 18th, 2009

One of my favourite architects Oscar Niemeyer, the famous Brazilian architect has turned 102 this week and he still goes to work everyday.

Oscar Niemyer is probably best known for his architectural masterpiece, the city of Brasilia. The whole city was built from scratch in the late 50’s and eventually became the capital of Brazil in 1960.

I hope I am still taking photographs at 102.

There is an interview with him on youtube that also show examples of his fine work- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IGK-I1gtLfo
