Frank Gehry’s vision for a series of his signature folded towers placed in the heart of the historic Parc des Ateliers in Arles, France will have to wait – as the project has just been put on hold. The French National Commission for Historical Sites and Monument has rejected two of the five necessary permits required for the Luna Park campus development to commence. — http://inhabitat.com/gehrys-plan-to-transform-historic-french-site-is-put-on-ice/

I can see why it was put on ice, It' not hot.
sometimes these kind of projects pay more homage to surroundings and existing buildings than the mindless match ups. i have seen gehry working with existing fabric and public space.. he is very good at it when asked. i think there are two improper heros of architecture and gehry is the other one with spatial approach.
This one is rather a dess-up and a compliment or a dialogue should I say... I have a great respect for that strategy...
