following surgery for gallstones and an intestinal tumor in late september.

'a very lonely thing. I needed to keep busy, keep in touch with friends,
maintain my rhythm of life.' he is currently working on a collection of buildings
outside of rio de janeiro, in the city of niteroi.
on december 15th, he will celebrate his 102nd birthday.
