LUMA Tower View, Arles France, 2025
Arles, a town with abundant Roman and medieval architecture, also sports this very modern Frank Gehry tower that houses the LUMA Arles Art Center. As typical of Gehry buildings, it was controversial at first but now is accepted as part of the city. Note this same progression of taste is typically French, the Eiffel Tower was reviled when it was first built but then the city wouldn't let him tear it down when the Exhibition was over.
This is looking straight down from the 8th-story observation deck.
