I saw this and had to post it here.
From the Austin American-Statesman http://www.statesman.com/business/co...bizbriefs.html BUSINESS DIGEST U.S. architect's design is picked for Paris building. Wednesday, November 29, 2006 PARIS — U.S. architect's design picked for Paris building Developers selected a design by an award-winning American architect for a bold new building powered partly by the wind. Dubbed the Lighthouse, the 984-foot-high skyscraper will be designed by Pritzker Prize winner Thom Mayne and erected at La Defense, a complex of office towers in a business district west of Paris where many of France's major corporations are headquartered. The building is set for completion in 2012. Rendering: http://img.coxnewsweb.com/B/09/69/28/image_4928699.jpg UNIBAIL-MORPHOSIS Thom Mayne's design for a 984-foot-high skyscraper will rise over Paris when it is competed in 2012. |
I don't like this building on the backside , its like an open steel frame without any content, the top looks ok though.
Truly I hope the design changes before building this... |
those other two designs for the AXA redesign are both much better, I think. Especially the second one.

Personally I woud prefer 2 to 4 towers at c. 200 to 220 metres which would give some height without totally taking over but with what is currently proposed La def will clearly be the best in Europe an comparable to any north American city except the two giants in Chicago and manhattan. It would be wrong to build in the centre and whatever young people say in polls it won't happen. Youth don't vote, have no real power and grow up to be more conservative so their views are irrelevant. However it is the fate of Paris to be the most innovative of cities. She is a vast work of art and brings her swagger and elan to so much of what happens there. This swagger will inform what becomes of her 'scraper quarter. Come 2013 the most elegant neo classical city on earth which has been the crucible for so much architectural novelty through the centuries will have a quarter which rivals Toronto or houston for height and skyline presence and arguably be top 10 in world yet in centre-ville people won't even know its there thus insuring a world class modern skyline next door to an utterly unrivalled pre modern panorama !!!!!. Vive la ville lumiere Reine des villes mondiales ! |
Take a look at this site where you can see T1 grow into the sky:

Excellent news ... but where is it going to be built in LD ??
Rendering of "la passerelle" to connect Granite with the SGtwins: http://www.ladefense.fr/images/passerelle%20Granite.jpg |
Some poeple said that Tour Signal height would be between 350 and 400 m
But those people are fanatic french forumer. (Like me) :haha: |
Loving the base of Tour Signal
|
It is not the Tour Signal
This tower was a project for the Tour Phare but some rumor said that this tower called Hypergreen will become the new Tour Signal. |
|
cool map. I notice that under unrevealed projects is "replacing Gan". I assume that would just be a renovation of the tower?
I hope they aren't planning on changing the exterior/facade... I think it looks great like it is. |
The remplacing Aurore is now know.
The tour Aurore, wich is 110 m (360 ft) high and contains 27,000 m² (290,000 sq. ft) of office space, would be demolished and replaced by a new tower called Air² which would be approx. 200-220 m (650-700 ft) high and would contain 75,000 m² (800,000 sq. ft) of office space. Tour Aurore now : http://80.65.232.176/Photos/00/00/06...00064244_3.JPG http://80.65.232.176/Photos/00/00/06...00064245_3.JPG Tour Air² : http://www.defense-92.fr/photos/ph2239.jpg http://www.defense-92.fr/photos/ph2338.jpg View from the south At the left tour Air², at the middle tour Generalli and tour Gan, at the right new tour Axa http://www.defense-92.fr/photos/ph2340.jpg With the new towers, tour Gan look small but today it is the third tallest skyscraper in la Defense :yes: http://img85.imageshack.us/img85/549...fc8dd3orb7.jpg View from the north http://grrroux.free.fr/misc/new_aurore2.JPG Paris has now 3 szkyscraper u/c Tour Axa : 240 m 787 ft Tour T1 185 m : 606 ft Tour Granite : 184 m 603 ft |
