Tours Aillaud
The Tours Aillaud (also known as Tours Nuages) is a group of residential buildings built in 1976 at the outskirts of La Défense business district. They are named after their main architect, Emile Aillaud. The housing project represents 18 towers. Despite the differences in height, the towers share the same shape, consisting of the superposition of several cylinders. Their cladding is made of frescos representing clouds in the sky (in French nuages), which is the origin of their nickname.
