Luma tower Arles | France | alphamesh 12.0 stainless steel

“Gehry Tower” as the centerpiece of the newly created LUMA cultural center in Arles
After 7 years of construction, “The Tower”, a 56 meter high building designed by star architect Frank Gehry, was opened as the core element of the new LUMA cultural center in Arles, in the south of France. The well-known German industrial designer Konstantin Grcic was also recruited to design the “Open Space”. In collaboration with Atelier CTJM from Arles, the two upper floors were conceptually linked and the industrial character of the original building was preserved. By using alphamesh metal curtains as well as special lighting technology, certain areas were cleverly separated and a kind of theater space was created. Both floors also benefit from impressive views of the Camargue, the Alpilles as well as the historic old town in Arles.
