Oscar Niemeyer was discharged from the hospital

Rio de Janeiro - The famous Brazilian architect Oscar Niemeyer, who is 102 years old, has been discharged from the hospital after a twelve-day hospitalization. This was reported by the agencies AP and DPA. Niemeyer, who is best known for his futuristic buildings in the Brazilian metropolis, was treated at the Samaritano clinic in Rio de Janeiro for a urinary tract infection.
    The hospital spokesperson stated that Niemeyer has successfully recovered and was discharged this morning in good condition. He left the hospital accompanied by his wife Vera.
    Niemeyer spent 24 days in the same hospital last fall due to severe abdominal pain. During one procedure, his gallbladder was removed, and a week later, a tumor in the large intestine was operated on.
    During his more than seventy-year career, Oscar Niemeyer completed over 600 architectural projects worldwide. Notable among them are the famous sambadrome in Rio and the UN building in New York. His buildings are characterized by graceful curves, which the author himself considered a "tribute to the body of the Brazilian woman."
