Luma Tower, Cultural center building in Arles, France
The Luma Tower rises 56 meters high with 11,000 stainless steel panels covering its exterior, creating reflections that change throughout the day.
The tower opened in 2021 as part of a renovation project transforming former railroad factories into an arts center under the direction of Maja Hoffmann.
Frank Gehry designed the tower drawing inspiration from Vincent van Gogh's Starry Night painting and the natural rock formations of Provence.
The structure contains exhibition spaces, a library, workshops, offices, and an auditorium with 150 seats spread across its twelve floors.
The building incorporates salt from local Camargue salt pans as wall surface material, connecting industrial heritage with regional natural resources.
