nice height for paris, but the roof structure is awful !

Densaga · March 20th, 2007, 09:54 PM

You are so conservative , do you want a flat roof again like 90% of La Defense ?

I dont want it anymore and all of the new projects will have a inclined / special roof

Generali in the La Defense renewal Plan :

Thank you for this thread, Densaga!

For my part, I like this tower.

His design, although simple, is magnificiently emphasized by the cladding and the top. The top makes this tower dynamic, slim towards the sky! This a "signal" to the 21th century.
For the height, we will see... IMO, it will be 318m, but... we will see, lol.

LAYZIEDOGG · March 20th, 2007, 10:31 PM

I can understand why you have enough of flat roofs, but this is really the opposite of that. I think its just too much, but who knows? maybe in real life it will look fantastic

JBCousin · March 20th, 2007, 10:45 PM

This tower is so different ! I think that it will be well integrated in la Defense. I like the idea of broken crystal.

E -zone ³ · March 21st, 2007, 01:30 AM

i love the huge crhistmas tree at the top.

I really like the design.

paris la defense will certainly change dramatically over the next few years - love that new proposal (tour air-something)

zerokarma · March 23rd, 2007, 07:36 PM

It looks alright I guess, not entirely sold on the top of it though.

vernon · March 23rd, 2007, 11:02 PM

I love this tower. It's very bold and unique, but IMO, it's not trying to be too modern or tacky like many of the Scandinavian towers are. It motivated this long time lurker to register as I think it's taking some unnecessary flak. If this was built in place of the new version of the Chicago Spire I doubt there'd be any complaints. This is my second favorite tower behind the Burj Dubai.

Good job Paris.... from an American, a Texan in fact.

vinouz · March 24th, 2007, 12:13 AM

Ok, I'll take that personnally. Thanks for the compliment :P.

James R. Hawkwood · March 24th, 2007, 12:19 AM

Ok, ok i admit it. The building looks decent but they need to make a twin off it!!!!!!! It is then logical for the average street person: One tall building "snapped" into two buildings.

Ginza · March 24th, 2007, 02:01 AM

The building looks good from my point of view I dont understand why it would need a twin tower

lpioe · March 24th, 2007, 11:38 AM

Didn't like it at all at first, but now I think it's ok.
But I still like the other projects in La Defense much better.

Here are diagrams that I posted a few months ago in the old thread now superceded by this thread.

These diagrams show the height of the Generali Tower among the tallest skyscrapers in some well known world cities.
