<p>A colorful tribute to Brazil's late superstar architect Oscar Niemeyer is taking shape on the Sao Paulo skyline under the watchful eye of a renowned Brazilian graffiti artist.<br /><br />Eduardo Kobra, known for creating large-scale murals, is adding a splash of color to Sao Paulo's main thoroughfare with a graffiti-style portrait of Niemeyer.<br /><br />The massive 171 foot mural requires Kobra and three assistants to work on a scaffold suspended by steel cables.<br /><br />Niemeyer died in early December at the age of 104. He was world-famous for distinctive landmarks including the U.N. Secretariat in New York, the Communist Party headquarters in Paris and the Roman Catholic Cathedral in Brasilia.<br /><br />The work is still unfinished, but with its bright, shocking colors, it stands out among São Paulo's grey skyline.</p>
