Check out this nice video presentation of the Parisian CBD

Press map

Optical renderings:

View from Paris - Arc de Triomphe:

View from Paris - Bois de Boulogne:

View from Levallois (north-west of Paris):

^^ You can see on the left the new AXA tower (CB31) after renovation. It's for sure much bigger than the 3 180m+ towers which are for now the highest in LD

View from Puteaux (South of La Défense):

The 3 biggest towers (250 to 400 meters) will be build around the Grande Arch!

Last view, toward Paris city center:

Very promising isn't it

Whoa, cool!!!!

I wonder if the renovated AXA tower will look like the rendering in those "visions". It would be the first skyscraper with a spire in La Défense.

When is the renovation of AXA going to begin or are there no official plans yet?

Fabb · #6 Posted **Mar 24, 2006, 3:28 PM**

I'm not sure.
But I guess that the final plans are not finalized yet.

If the renovated tower is taller, it'll probably need approval. That' won't be easy because AXA is located at a very prominent site.

Very nice. Good for Paris.

I saw a Jean Nouvel 200m tower mentioned in another thread. Whats the deal with that one? Any info?

Grumpy · #11 Posted **Mar 31, 2006, 7:16 AM**

the official scale modell

Fabb · #12 Posted **Mar 31, 2006, 8:10 AM**

Those renderings show relatively fat new skyscrapers. I'm a little surprised and I can't wait to see the first proposals.

Still a mystery...it's on the J.Nouvel website however.

Another prosal:

Air Tower, 140 m (odd name for a LD tower)

Fabb · #14 Posted **Apr 3, 2006, 4:15 PM**

Both are nice.
Of course, Nouvel's design is fantastic. Hopefully, it's not an older, failed project.

What is the story on the Méridien hotel ?

Grumpy · #16 Posted **Jun 13, 2006, 12:33 PM**

Sad to see no one is updating this thread....

Fabb · #17 Posted **Jun 13, 2006, 8:48 PM**

Well, the projects should have been released this month.
I'd be surprised if they came on time though.
