It is kind of what's getting closer to a huge canyon on the continent., I agree.
BTW, I sometimes wonder, do you know what that empty lot is near Prisma, facing D2 across the boulevard? Why in this town isn't there anything planned right there yet? That's a lovely lot, isn't it?

Nice to see skyscrapers going up in Paris! The designs always seem very thoughtful. Keep us updated!

That's a cool construction site.

The cladding covering the I-beams is a lot more reflective than the renderings eluded to. I think this will look great with the light blue glazing.

^ No, it's covered by something matt with a light grey color. I would've liked some pure chrome effect much better as well, I think.
You can see, the beams to the couple of first floors are actually not done yet. Those right above are the final thing.

Bummer I really thought it was going to have the chrome look. The glass looks more transparent in this picture as well.

The glass on this is superb.

Yea, that's a fair transparency. Even some kind of symbol in a corrupted land. Nothing to hide...

Feeling blind for having criticized this, because I find it's turning nice indeed. Better to be wrong sometimes, anyways.

Watch the improving portion of the ring boulevard, there will be something along there.



Yet too many offices lacking housing and retail, but I'll be damned if that boulevard connected to the sometime soon rearranged slab doesn't become a urban legend. Remember you're just a couple of miles away from the historic center right there. Heck, I'm all excited like a kid at the potential of this thing.

Pictures by Piéton (RS-steph35 on here I think) for pss-archi.

Probably one of my favorite towers going up in Paris right now. The cladding materials are some of the best I've seen.

Yeah, it's lovely. There should be some nice glints owing to the angled panels, like seen below.


Densaga

Like Carpe Diem does on it's 2 better sides, except this D2 is fitted with a much much better glass.

No idea about how much it costs. I wouldn't mind if it was cheap, actually.
