Description
View of south end, depicting service entrance; Disagreement with the military dictatorship that came to power in 1964 caused Niemeyer to leave Brazil, and he worked in virtual exile for a number of years in Israel, Lebanon, Algeria, France and Italy. In the later 1960s a special decree by the French president, Charles de Gaulle, permitted him to practise in France, where he produced a curved design for a headquarters building (1967-1980; with Paul Chemetov and Jean Deroche) for the French Communist Party in Paris.
