Just think of freedom: pure white, light as an ideal, it could take to the air. This is the Tower of Liberty. A designer's fantasy carved out of steel, cables and canvas, like a boat, a bird, a plane.
It was constructed in the gardens of the Tuileries, Paris, to commemorate the Bicentenary of the French Revolution, and its designers, Jean-Marie Hennin and Nicolas Normier, have thus dedicated it: "All the sustained efforts, all the energy spent on the conquest of liberty, we dedicate them to those whose only environment is a mental hospital, to those whose hopes of conquest stop short in front of other people's lack of understanding and fear. To those suffering from disability of mind or body, to people forgotten in mental hospitals."
