While I enjoy my walks around Jean Nouvel's Tour Horizon, I have to say that the overall effect is rather cold and impersonal. Dull even. I wonder if the mayor of Boulogne Billancourt plans to bring back a touch of mirth to suburban living by replacing old industrial buildings with something geared towards the new younger inhabitants of the area.

Not as drab as all the others surrounding it, sans the copper-clad steep-roofed one. Balconies badly done everywhere. French windows rule. It’s decent; I like it.

Nouvel really helped to push the boundaries here and let others take the spotlight. It is amazing how well everything else looks around this project.

It was ugly then, and it is ugly now. I can see no redeeming values what so ever. This harks back to the really ugly architecture of the Soviet Union. It was ugly then, and it is ugly now.
