Headquarters of the French Communist Party
Headquarters of the French Communist Party, Political party headquarters in 19th arrondissement, France.
The white concrete structure features a curved facade with glass panels, resting on five pillars near Place du Colonel Fabien in Paris.
Brazilian architect Oscar Niemeyer designed this building during his exile from Brazil, completing the main structure in 1971 and the dome in 1980.
The Central Committee meetings take place in the white dome auditorium, which became a symbol of the French Communist Party presence in Paris.
Located at 2 Place du Colonel Fabien, the building offers spaces for exhibitions, conferences, and corporate events through the Espace Niemeyer program.
The partially underground lobby connects to a descending floor that leads visitors toward the dome, creating an architectural progression through different levels.

Oscar Niemeyer shaped Brazilian modernism with his concrete constructions featuring bold geometric forms. In Brasília, the capital he helped design, the Cathedral stands out with its sixteen columns rising 40 meters (131 feet) high, while the National Congress combines two 28-story towers with opposing domes, one facing upwards for the House of Representatives, the other downwards for the Senate. The Niterói Contemporary Art Museum, with its circular shape resting on a central support, overlooks the bay of Rio de Janeiro. His work extends beyond Brazil. In Paris, the headquarters of the French Communist Party reflects his architectural vision, as does the Asturian Cultural Center in Spain. These international projects extend the architect’s influence beyond his homeland. In São Paulo, the Copan Building showcases its curved S-shaped facade stretching 115 meters (377 feet), containing 1,160 apartments across 32 floors. These works embody a modernist approach favoring concrete structures, geometric volumes, and natural light integration.
