Tour-CBX.Pdf TOUR CBX Paris la Défense, France Located on what was one of the last remaining sites in the La Défense high-rise business district just west Development Team of Paris, Tour CBX (CBX Tower) projects an iconic image while providing a high-quality working envi- Owner ronment and making efficient use of a site constrained by its small size and by view-corridor restrictions. Dexia Crédit Local The 44,000-square-meter (473,612 sf) tower’s footprint occupies half of the site’s 2,400 square meters Paris la Défense, France (25,833 sf). An innovative podium and elliptical floor-plate design provide up to 1,500 square meters www.dexia-clf.fr (16,146 sf) of space on each of the 34 upper floors. Developer La Défense, girdled by an inner ring road and by the Seine beyond the city limits of Paris, has been reinventing itself as a commercial district since the 1950s. In 1972, outraged by the construction of the Tishman Speyer Paris, France 58-story Tour Montparnasse in Paris’s historic 15th arrondissement, the national government banned fu- www.tishmanspeyer.com ture skyscrapers in the city center, directing new towers to outlying La Défense. The new business district was accorded greater status with the construction of a symbolic center, La Grande Arche, marking the Design Architect western terminus of the historical axis of Paris that aligns the Louvre, the Arc de Triomphe, and the Kohn Pedersen Fox Associates, PC Champs-Élysées. Today 150,000 people work in Paris la Défense’s 3.5 million square meters (37 million New York, New York sf) of office space, making it the largest CBD in Europe and the continent’s busiest transportation hub. www.kpf.com Developer Tishman Speyer worked closely with the local planning authority—the Public Establish- Associate Architect ment for the Installation of La Défense (EPAD)—and architects Kohn Pedersen Fox Associates to ensure SRA Architectes that the project would have a positive impact on the surrounding area and the Parisian skyline. The de- Châtillon, France signers aimed to create a landmark tower that would provide maximum flexibility for the speculative www.sra-architectes.com office building’s prospective tenants as well as a prestigious corporate image. The result is an asymmet- ric, bladelike design that provides flexible floor plates as well as a striking, 14-meter-high (46 ft) entrance plaza, an elegant reception area, natural stone floors and walls, and extensive glazing. The four-story podium houses public and retail services, a 550-seat restaurant, and a 100-seat cafeteria; the podium fa- cade is completely transparent, providing extensive natural light while increasing visibility and drawing passersby into the building. At 142 meters (466 ft), Tour CBX is Paris la Défense’s 14th tallest skyscraper. Its lowest office floor is on level five, which is at the same height as the tenth floor of adjacent buildings. The tower is chilled by ceiling-mounted fan-coil air-handling units. A security station provides closed-circuit television moni- toring, and access to all private areas is controlled by electronic badges. The structure was the first in France to feature destination-control elevators linked to the access identification system. These elevators are so efficient that only two banks of five elevators were required, reducing the size of the core and in- creasing the size and improving the efficiency of the floor plates.

  • La Grande Arche De La Defense
    La Grande Arche De La Defense Bradley Angell - Trenton Jacobs - Elizabeth Viets “We’re going to show the Americans a French-designed skyscraper.” - Bernard Zehrfuss The Beginning Between 1955 and 1956, it was decided that a new business district featuring a French-designed skyscraper would be built Design Goals: -250 meters tall -An urban endpoint for the Grande Louve/Place de la Concorde/Champs- Elysees/Arc de Triomphe axis. The Competition Worldwide design competition for the site of La Defense required: -a “monumental character” -“a modern cathedral” -“to mark the second centenary of the French Revolution just as the Eiffel Tower had marked the first” -“social appropriateness favoring collective uses stemming from plural initiatives” -“openness to the world” The Winner- Johan Otto von Spreckelsen His design consisted of a hollowed- out cube, creating an arch in white marble that was slightly offset constructing a closed object set on the axis but leaving a large absence that could be perceived through. Spreckelsen called the absence “a window opening on an unforeseeable future.” Function of the Grande Arche -Cultural icon for the upcoming century -158,000 sq. meters of space -Communications center for the La Defense District -Digital presentation auditoriums -Communications infrastructure -Office space for private parties. Structural Design The primary building components is made up of a standard of pre-stressed concrete based on a 21 meter grid. Mirrored on the top and bottom are four pre-stressed concrete transversal rigid frames of columns attached to main beams of roof and base components. Four additional secondary pre-stressed cross beams in the roof and base are used to stabilize the primary rigid frames.
