Le Project Triangle

#1 Post by rogue » Sat Sep 27, 2008 6:31 pm

From todays paper...
A 50-storey glass pyramid is to transform the Paris skyline after officials eager to rejuvenate the city dropped a ban on high-rise buildings.

The building will be the first of six innovative towers on the city's outskirts reaching as high as 200m.

Paris Council hopes the decision to scrap laws limiting new buildings to a height of no more than 37m will allow the city to overtake rivals such as London, Berlin and Barcelona as Europe's most vibrant metropolis.

The first scheme will be Le Project Triangle, at Porte de Versailles in southern Paris, a privately funded, pyramid-shaped ediface created by Jacques Herzog and Pierre de Meuron.

They are the Swiss architects who designed Tate Modern and the Olympic stadium in Beijing.
