Oscar Niemeyer Celebrates 103rd Birthday with the Opening of His Latest Foundation

Fresh off his turn as a songwriter, legendary architect Oscar Niemeyer celebrated his 103rd birthday this week and received perhaps his best present yet: the opening of the Oscar Niemeyer Foundation just outside his home city of Rio de Janeiro. As reported by the BBC, the new institution will feature a large collection of the architect’s drawings and models from his incredibly lengthy 70+ years in the business. Though certainly the most recent, this isn’t the first location dedicated to honoring the architect.
