An Erection for Firemen

wang du paris blog architectureHere is a pretty interesting sculpture in the 17th. It was designed by Wang Du, a Chinese artist who has been living in France for 20 years and who was commissioned by the city to create a monument dedicated to Paris firemen. It’s called the Exercise Tower, and it’s located in front of one of the largest fire stations in Paris, at Place Jules Renard. It weighs 7 tons, it’s 11 meters high, and it’s made of polished iron, just like the firemen helmets.
