This post is number four
In a series of posts, I call “In my backyard“
In which I present for your review, buildings that I found “in my backyard” and photographed them for you.
All buildings are within 60 km from home
The choice to photograph these buildings was not random
They reminded me of forgotten posts
For you to judge

In the 1970s
A French architect named E’mile Aillaud ,planned residential towers not far from Paris. He called them “Cloud Towers“.

Years later architects like MAD Architects and Zaha Hadid, took the idea of Cloud Towers into more creative directions.
You are invited to visit a post from 2013 ,in which I presented projects by Zaha Hadid and MAD Architects.

2 thoughts on “And I thought to myself that only Zaha Hadid and MAD Architects, were inspired by E’mile Aillaud cloud towers…. Apparently not, it happens again here “in my backyard””
But the really first one was Mies in 1922 with his design for a glass skyscaper !!
