Takis Pool at Sunset – Reflections and Urban Geometry at La Défense
Where urban art and golden light converge. This photograph captures the Takis Pool at La Défense as day fades into architectural poetry.
Takis Pool at La Défense offers a fascinating urban panorama at golden hour. Located in the heart of the business district, this reflective water surface acts as a geometric mirror for the surrounding skyscrapers. The light sculptures by Takis, meticulously aligned, punctuate the view all the way to the Grande Arche.
As night falls, artificial lights blend with the final rays of the sun. The reflections on the water create a perfect symmetry between sky and architecture, enhanced by the glass façades glowing with warm tones. The scene becomes a dialogue between concrete, glass, and light.
In the background, the silhouette of the Grande Arche anchors the composition, framed by iconic buildings of the district. Vertical multicolored installations along the pool create visual rhythm and serve as spatial markers in this structured environment.
The contrast between mineral materials and reflections transforms the site into a constantly shifting abstract canvas. Each architectural detail intensifies as the crepuscular sky adds softness and calm to the atmosphere.
Photographed at the precise moment when daylight fades, the Takis Pool becomes a silent stage where contemporary art, urban planning, and visual poetry intersect. A tribute to the aesthetic power of business landscapes at sunset.
