Swiss architect Bruno Giacometti, the younger brother of sculptor Alberto Giacometti, died on Wednesday at age 105, the Zurich art museum, of which he was a patron, announced.

He designed a number of buildings in Zurich, including the Oerlikon stadium, and in 1952 built the Swiss pavilion for the Venice Biennale.
