Last time I was in Paris, I saw in the distance this weird looking building facing in the north east side of town.

I could not figure out what it was. Till now with the help of AI.

I just asked ChatGPT to describe the photo and got this reply:

The building in the image is the Philharmonie de Paris, a concert hall and cultural complex that opened in 2015¹. It was designed by French architect Jean Nouvel, who is known for his innovative and futuristic projects². The building has a striking appearance, with a metallic facade that resembles a bird’s nest or a pile of rocks. It can accommodate up to 3,650 spectators and hosts various musical events, from classical to jazz to world music³. It is located in the Parc de la Villette, a former industrial site that has been transformed into a cultural and recreational park. The Philharmonie de Paris is one of the most impressive examples of modern architecture in Paris and a must-see for music and art lovers. 🎶
