A glass pyramid trying to sneak a new skyline into Paris—controversial by default, but spatially intriguing.
Proposed skyscraper in Paris, France.
Featured in Herzog & de Meuron's definitive monograph, Herzog & de Meuron: Natural History.
Visitor Guide
Treat it as a construction-site spectacle until it opens: view from Porte de Versailles edges and track how the profile changes as it rises.
From the Parc des Expositions perimeter, late afternoon for construction shadows; future: rooftop skybar at sunset (once open).
Under construction with completion targeted for 2026; no public access until opening.
The geometry is a political hack: the same tower reads ‘thin’ from one view and ‘broad’ from another, negotiating Paris height anxieties.
20–40 min (exterior until open)
Design & Structure
Designed as a tapered prism/pyramid; massing and facade optimized digitally for wind, views, and (inevitably) planning optics.
Glass curtain wall; materiality will matter in how it controls glare and reflects Paris’ changing sky.
Engineering will center on tall-building wind response and a large, triangular footprint integrated with an exhibition complex context.
