Duo Towers

The Duo towers (in Paris) were designed by Ateliers Jean Nouvel. The least we can say is that they don't go unnoticed. For details of their history, see https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tours_Duo.

The towers feature facades with varying inclinations, up to five degrees (more than the Leaning Tower of Pisa). This allows them to reflect their surroundings.

With the Duo towers, Jean Nouvel wants to play with reflections, both day and night. The slight inclination of the towers will allow these optical games to be played, multiplying moving images.

Well done! Years ago when I worked downtown and had the camera with me... I'd take similar abstract shots of the architecture... I can appreciate your good eye. Fun.
