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. Building began in 1971 and was completed in 1980. Located in the 19th arrondissement, the experience of walking around the dome and then entering, down a slope into the building is fascinating, it’s as if the building envelops you. Inside it’s almost sculptural, curved and flowing, a perfect example of design and functionality. It does not feel like a political headquarters at all. At every turn the building features Niemeyer’s signature curvilinear forms and is a powerful example of his modernist vision.

Our thoughts are with everyone in Los Angeles, the neighbouring communities, and across California who are affected by the wildfires. Please take care of yourselves.

According to the LA Times, the Eames House formally known as Case Study House No 8 photographed here by @greyscapeworld ‘has been unharmed by the wildfires so far. 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’.

The 1971 Alta lounge chair, designed by Oscar and his daughter Anna Niemeyer, sits within the Paris headquarters of the French Communist Party. This iconic building by Niemeyer with Paul Chemetov was completed in 1980 and has undeniably withstood the test of time. Anna Maria deserves wider recognition, trained as an architect she worked closely with her father in Brasilia, her focus, interior spaces and furniture design.
