Ellipse Plaza in La Défense – Urban Geometry and Light
Explore a contemporary vision of La Défense through this photograph of Ellipse Plaza, where curved lines and natural light shape a spectacular architectural space.
Ellipse Plaza in La Défense showcases a spectacular geometry, with the curves of its glass façade forming an almost perfect oval. The immense and pure central opening cuts through the sky with precision and symmetry.
The upward angle of the shot accentuates the enveloping effect, as if the building wraps itself around the void. Sunlight reflections on the glass and light patterns projected on the smooth surfaces enhance the graphic quality of the scene.
The horizontal structural arch appears to connect two sides of the building with carefully balanced tension, anchoring this ethereal architecture. The contrasts between the deep blue sky, transparency, and shadows create a resolutely contemporary urban composition.
