Funeral for Oscar Niemeyer

People hold signs against Brasilia's Plan of Preservation of The Urbanistic Complex as they pass by the coffin of famed Brazilian architect Oscar Niemeyer during his funeral at Planalto Palace, in Brasilia. Niemeyer, the Brazilian icon who revolutionized modern architecture and designed much of the country's futuristic capital Brasilia, died in Rio de Janeiro Wednesday at 104. According to demonstrators, the preservation plan would damage Niemeyer's work.
