Alexandre Jacques's Photos Transform Skyscrapers Into Crazy Geometric Patterns

Alexandre Jacques invites us to take a closer look at some of the more maligned buildings in our world's major cities. An artistic director based outside of Paris, Jacques photographs extreme close-ups of skyscrapers often seen as invasive or degrading, transforming works like the New York Times Building and the Arche de la Défense into eye-catching geometric patterns of line, form, and shape. The result is entrancing. The Novotel Paris Tour Eiffel becomes a trippy pattern worthy of 1970s fashion, while the alternating window panes of the the modernist Tour Mirabeau morph into an optical illusion.
