Tribute to Oscar Niemeyer

Roughly once a month for the past year, a recurring thought has crossed my mind, leading me to Google the term "is Oscar Niemeyer still alive?" (I always took care to avoid the less hopeful "is Oscar Niemeyer dead yet?") Sadly I will never again engage in this cycle of dread and relief, because Niemeyer died Wednesday night in Rio de Janeiro, at the age of 104 years and 356 days.
