Paris is such an amazing place. I'm dying to get there.
This building though doesn't feel like it is an exact fit.

While I'm all for the reconstruction of Axa, I have to say I actually really liked the old Axa too. The cladding was so unique and subdued and there seemed something Gothic about the overall building. I will miss it, but not that much.

It was of i's time not on time. I like it. The spire really looks cool and whenever I saw the diagrams I never really got the shape but now I do.

Wow, looks great. I love the way the facade changes shades of blue. Tour Gan, Tour AXA, any other towers doing the same thing in Paris?

I through that they would entirely decladd the building before doing this.
I was wrong, but we clearly see that it goes faster since july.

But it's hard to tell if it's already going up.

Is the reclap the part where the red elevator is next to the crane? What about the sides? Are they going to cover it up or are they going to make holes for windows?

I think that windows will be all over the facade.

With the south wing chopped off, the building is already less squat and massive.

Wow this is happening so fast, I was against it but I'll just have to wait, it looks pretty good so far, but I will dearly miss the original design
