Lord Norman Foster, chair of architect Foster + Partners, has paid tribute to the 鈥渋nspirational鈥� Oscar Niemeyer, who died yesterday.

Seminal Brazilian architect Niemeyer died yesterday aged 104. He had reportedly been battling kidney and stomach problems over the past month.

In a tribute to the man who designed Brazil鈥檚 capital city Basilia, , Foster said: 鈥淔or architects schooled in the mainstream modern movement, he stood accepted wisdom on its head.鈥�

He said Brasilia was 鈥渄aring, sculptural, colourful and free鈥�. 鈥淓ach of its fluidly-composed pieces seems to stand, like a dancer, on its points frozen in a moment of absolute balance,鈥� he added. 鈥淏ut what I most enjoy in his work is that even the individual building is very much about the public promenade, the public dimension.鈥�

Foster said that even now Niemeyer鈥檚 work had the capacity to startle architects. He described Niemeyer鈥檚 Art Museum at Niteroi as 鈥渁bsolutely magic鈥�.

鈥淚n the end his architecture is his ultimate legacy. Like the man himself, it is eternally youthful 鈥� he leaves us with a source of delight and inspiration for many generations to come,鈥� he said.
