Eighteen towers filled with more than 1,600 apartments were built by architect Emile Aillaud between 1973 and 1981. The housing complex is found in the Pablo Picasso district of Nanterre, an inner suburb of Paris. The residential towers range from 7 to 38 floors, yet each share peculiar windows shaped like futuristic portholes.
French photographer Laurent Kronental has long been fascinated by these windows and their towering hosts which serve as the subject of
his 2015-2017 series Les Yeux de Tours.
