Paris' Multicoloured Towerblocks

I wanted to bring these residential high-rise buildings to your attention due to the initially horrific exterior paint job which for some reason, after the shock sinks in, gives them a certain amount of charm. the group of towers are located in paris, were built in 1977 and go by the name of tours aillaud. if buildings could go paintballing, this is what the shit players would look like.

    I think the initial idea was to paint them so that they wold blend in with the surroundings, so that you couldn't see them sticking out. If you look at the arial photo it almost works!
