The first thing that strikes you as you walk towards Espace Niemeyer, Oscar Niemeyer’s headquarters for the French Communist Party in Paris is the futuristic dome that houses the central meeting room, accessed from within the building.

Eames Foundation founder Lucia Atwood, granddaughter of legendary designer Charles Eames, confirmed the house’s states as of noon Wednesday. “Windblown fires continue to claim other homes in the community and bring the fires nearer,” she said by email. “We are closely monitoring the situation and the Eames Foundation has taken every precaution to protect the site.” The foundation’s team removed some objects from the house on Tuesday before evacuating the building themselves’.
