No, these are not the skeletonized remains of some cooling tower - this is actually a piece of art, named "Mae West", after the actress.
The 52 m tall sculpture designed by Rita McBride was built from Oct. 2010 to Jan. 2011, the material is CFRP (carbon fiber reinforced polymer).
In the right background is the 113.7 m tall HVB Tower, one of the better looking modern buildings in Munich, completed already in 1981.

The Italian Renaissance style building formally opened on March 20, 1928 as the most modernhotel in the entire Southwest United States. It was the first air-conditioned, high-rise hotel in Phoenix and the first high rise with hand-operated elevators in the state.
During the mid-twentieth century, the hotel continued to be a hub for the Phoenix elite, political, social, as well as a destination for Hollywood stars. Mae West, Clark Gable and Carole Lombarde, Marilyn Monroe, Humphrey Bogart, Harry James, and Kay Starr all spent time at the Hotel San Carlos.
In 1974, it was recognized as a State Historic landmark and its been in continuous operation since its opening. In 2003, Hotel San Carlos underwent a multi-million dollar renovation that modernized its amenities, but preserved its historic fabric. 213

She has that Garbo "I want to be left alone" look. Personally I prefer the Mae West "Come up and see me sometime" look, but there you go, you meet all kinds, especially at Ballinasloe horse fair!

Esta obra fue realizada sobre una foto de la actriz Mae West publicada en un periódico. Dalí crea a partir de esta foto un escenario realista de una estancia apartamental de la época usando los rasgos faciales de la actriz como muebles y motivos ornamentales.
El pelo es usado como una cortina que se encuentra en la puerta para entrar a la estancia. Cada ojo de la actriz simula un cuadro enmarcado, la nariz toma la forma de una chimenea sobre la cual hay un reloj y, finalmente, la boca se convierte en un sofá. El fondo de la cara es pintado de rojo para la pared y en su parte inferior se simula el piso del cuarto. Sobre la barbilla, Dalí, pinta unas escaleras y decora el exterior del cuarto.
Poco después de crear este diseño, Dalí encargó fabricar, a petición del inglés Edward James, un sofá semejante a los labios del cuadro. Se ha convertido en un modelo de mueble conocido mundialmente.
A finales de los años setenta, Dalí, con ayuda del arquitecto español Óscar Tusquets, reprodujo el apartamento en tres dimensiones en el Teatro-Museo Dalí de Figueras
