I very recently became aware of a Le Corbusier designed appartment for a mister Carlos De Beisteigu. If you are not aware of the (second) name, here’s what wikipedia claims:
Don Carlos de Beistegui y de Yturbe, also known as Charles or Charlie de Beistegui, was an eccentric multi-millionaire art collector and interior decorator and one of the most flamboyant characters of mid-20th-century European life.
In the photos of his apartment, the height of the exterior walls is such so that it hides Paris, the middle ground, the action, the visual reference used by us to situate the space in context. However landmarks such as the Eiffel tower, or the Arc de Triomphe pop out of that manufactured horizon making them objects that we can not be sure of their scale, part of the surreal setting, as they are left exposed and unconnected with the city over which they stand, somehow belonging to the surrealist setting of the design.
While walking through the park yesterday, I found myself in front of the same effect being achieved by Le Slope and its relation with the BT tower and that other thing. So there!
