PARIS | Tour Triangle | 590 FT / 180 M | 42 FLOORS

[Minato Ku]

New high rise building project in Paris by Herzog and De Meuron. The developer is Unibail Rodamco.
It will be a 180m pyramid-shaped tower for only 13m in thickness . This tower would be located in the 15th arrondissement and will be perpendicular to the Peripherique the beltway that surround inner Paris.
The construction should began in 2014.

If it is build it would be the first skyscraper build in inner Paris since Montparnasse tower.

This looks thrown-together.

I hope Paris doesn't let this happen.

[Rico Rommheim]

I love it! Is this really u/c?

[Minato Ku]

No because we are in the skyscraper proposal part.

[Rico Rommheim]

, that's right, u/c = under croposal!

[Minato Ku]

More view, now they speak of 200m (655 feet) for the height. Jacques Herzog hopes hopes to bring the height of this skyscraper to 211 meters (692 feet) to surpass the Montparnasse Tower.

I think it is trying way too hard. I don't really care for the design. It sort of looks cool from the view of the lateral profile, but overall just isn't doing much for me. It looks a little to Daniel Libeskind for my tastes... blah.

[Alliance]

The treatment is great, but it is too wide along the one side. Pandemonious is right though, the profile is stellar.

Better built than not though! Hopefully the materials will have the qualities of the render (though I doubt it)

[Rico Rommheim]

You people are all out of your minds, this tower is a veritable masterpiece and ONLY a city like paris could ever pull it off and be proud of it!

I want that in my city.
And yes, please, make it at least 211 m tall.
I'll be proud of it.

Pretty much sums up my thoughts. I cannot get into this design at all. Their design for NY is so much better.


Is this in Paris proper? Looks like it's in Issy or someplace. I couldn't imagine it getting past in the city.

[Minato Ku]

In Paris proper in the limit with Issy les Moulineaux.

Vraiment intéressant, en souhaitant que ce projet voit le jour. :tup:
De plus il est ,on pourrait dire ,en périphérie du centre de la Ville ,donc les résidents ne devraient pas s'y opposer...

There will be opposition, believe me.
Already, residents from Vanves and Issy are complaining about the shadow that the tower will cast on their residences, even though both cities are located south of the tower... and really not so close.

[staff]

Love it. Build it. Now.

[M.K.]

really kind of interesting, a new solution how an egypt piramide of glass could be in a futuristic aformal way. I like it a lot and hope soon to be taller then the eiffel tower. :P

[Ilex]

I liked the first and last pic in this thread where it just looked like a crooked jenga tower. Then I saw the others and was disappointed a little.

[slymjym]

I like it, but all I can think is...DORITO....now I'm hungry. ;-]

[Tom Servo]

This looks thrown-together.

I hope Paris doesn't let this happen.

it's sad that most people think this way... :(



compile everything we've come to know of what a skyscraper is, burn it to the ground, and rebuild it. buildings like this and the cctv are inventing the future and addressing the issue of urbanity and functional space in ways we never have before. :worship: all hail modern architecture :worship:

[RLS_rls]

What's Paris' fascination with glassy pyramids?

Not exactly. What's the rationale for Herzog and de Meuron's design? How does a super-expensive system of cantilevers and/or setbacks make the building a good solution to the challenges presented by its site and program?

It seems to me that this building is built on a thin, narrow leftover site (I believe the French call them friches?) created when the Peripherique highway was built.

[mousquet]

Forgotten thread...

What's Paris' fascination with glassy pyramids?
Nothing much I guess. The Louvre entrance just turned out to be a success, people like it.

This building is called Triangle and it's back on track. A public study issued a favorable opinion about it, which means the building permit is likely to be granted.

As always, legal appeals from opponents are very expected but at the end of the day, appeals of that kind usually fail.

The video says 42 floors - thread title should be updated.

[Minato Ku]

The demolition work began.

The Council of Paris has voted in favor of Tour Triangle.

Unibail Gets Approval to Build $558 Million Skyscraper in Paris
by Francois De Beaupuy June 30, 2015

A plan by Unibail-Rodamco SE to build a 500 million-euro ($558 million) skyscraper at the southern edge of Paris was approved by the city council after the property group amended the office project to include a hotel.
The Tour Triangle will have 69,900 square meters (752,000 square feet) of offices, less than the 80,000 square meters planned in a previous project that was rejected in a city council vote in November. The project will also include a 120-room, four star hotel, co-working spaces as well as shops, child-care facilities and a restaurant.
“I always considered that the Tour Triangle was a great chance for Paris and the Greater Paris,” Mayor Anne Hidalgo, who’s backing the project, said Tuesday.
The plans were opposed by some of Hidalgo’s allies in the Green Party because they’re concerned about traffic congestion.
Paris has lagged behind cities including London in building office towers because some residents oppose them on aesthetic grounds. The Montparnasse office tower, built in 1973, remains one of the few Paris skyscrapers outside the La Defense financial district.

This is the area where Tour Triangle will be built.

Herzog & de Meuron's Tour Triangle set to be built in Paris after passing final legal hurdle (https://www.dezeen.com/2019/05/22/tour-triangle-paris-skyscraper-herzog-de-meuron/)

The Tour Triangle, designed by Herzog & de Meuron, is poised to become the tallest skyscraper built in central Paris since 1973, after winning a lengthy court battle.

Paris's administrative court has upheld a building permit that was issued in April 2015, rejecting two appeals that had been filled against the building. The court found that the building permit issued in 2015 was not unlawful.

The latest ruling should clear the way for construction to begin on the 180-metre-high tower, which has been caught up in legal battles since 2014.

"The mayor of Paris has not made a manifest error of assessment in considering that the project is not likely to affect the character or interest of neighbouring places and monumental perspectives," said the court, as reported by Le Parisien.

Developer Unibail-Rodamco intends to begin construction of the tower in 2020, with the aim to complete in time for the Olympics in 2024.

Bwaha, Minato's original post is over 10 years old.
What an obnoxious place when it comes to building any highrise...
So is the design of that thing anyway. Obnoxious.

[kingkirbythe....]

Wow! This is spectacular! Build it yesterday.

[Zerton]

I love it. But aren't Parisians opposed to tall towers outside of La Defense?

[mousquet]

It depends on areas indeed. But I think we can make it over Ivry and my Val-de-Marne spot. There's some cool project on the edge of the central city, almost in Ivry-sur-Seine with luxury high-rise condos and all, that's not too far my home. I'm hopeful it won't face too much of NIMBYism, cause we don't have so many landmarks or remarkable things around here.

La Défense is a shitty corporate place, though. Almost every highrise has to go through a whole bunch of legal appeals just because a corporation next door says - no, you won't be taller than me. Crappy private corporate mindset, really.
That's a reason why I sometimes have a feeling that public officials are still actually quite useful, cause their very duty is to serve the community as a whole, and not just particular interests.
It's very interesting to take note of this point.

[rgarri4]

Oh wow this is still happening? I remember seeing these renderings forever ago.

[Minato Ku]

Except that it's not going to be the tallest building built in Inner Paris since 1973, Tour Duo has the same height and is already under construction.
