these are the Nemausus 1 public housing buildings located in Nimes France, constructed in 2010. it appears the French do everything with a little more style than everyone else, apparently, that includes public housing as well.  I can’t help but notice the resemblance of a pair of ships. Since these are public housing buildings budget was an important factor in their construction. I think this is a great example of how a talented architect can create a beautiful, practical structure without breaking the bank, the multi level structure is not an eyesore in the community as many public housing structure are, instead they add to the landscape and while at the same time serving a practical purpose and giving the citizens who are in need a beautiful place to live.
