Sad to read of the deaths yesterday of Oscar Niemeyer, wacky Brazilian architect most famous for his designs for the capital Brasilia, and Dave Brubeck, jazz musician extraordinaire most famous for one of the few of his hits he didn't write himself (Take Five, written by alto saxophonist Paul Desmond).

The Brazilian National Congress building:

The Paris headquarters of the French Communist Party:
