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."

      Horny architects are kinda funny to me. Because it's buildings they make, not like images, they always have to do this weird abstract shit to get the idea across.
