The UNESCO Headquarters in Paris was designed by Bernard Zehrfuss, Marcel Breuer and Pier Luigi Nervi. Eero Saarinen collaborated, and an international committee of five architects validated the plans. UNESCO is the client, and it uses land leased from the French State for 99 years. The page has no infobox and gives no construction dates. It was inaugurated on November 3, 1958.
The article names no style, though it links the building to a list of Brutalist structures. The trapezoidal site covers about 326,700 square feet (30,350 square meters). The main building has seven floors in a three-pointed star shape, with an accordion building and a cubic building.
The French Parliament approved the lease in 1955. The Westgate Las Vegas was reportedly inspired by the design. It houses UNESCO's secretariat and is open to the public. The article gives no hours.
