The French Communist Party headquarters in Paris designed by Brazilian architect Oscar Niemeyer.
"The architect had abandoned his country but not his lifelong political principles: In a show of solidarity, Niemeyer worked on the project for free. But his Marxist-Leninist sympathies were not limitless. "On the politics, I'm with you, but your architecture is awful."
"I am attracted to free-flowing, sensual curves," he wrote in his memoirs. "The curves that I find in the mountains of my country, in the sinuousness of its rivers, in the waves of the ocean, and on the body of the beloved woman."
