Sweeping City Views through Futuristic Windows

In the series Les Yeux des Tours, French photographer Laurent Kronental captures the different-shaped portholes of Tours Aillaud, an 18-building complex erected in the Parisian suburb Nanterre between 1973 and 1981. While the buildings themselves are rather aged, the inhabitants still have a futuristic view of the changing landscape beyond their windows. See more of his work here and on Instagram.
