jean nouvel wins competition to design 'tour signal' in paris


la tour signal proposal by jean nouvel

after receiving this year’s pritzker prize, atelier jean nouvel is now the winner of another prestigious honour.
the architecture firm was announced as the overall winner in the ‘tour signal’ design competition to create a new
tour in paris’ la defence business district. the competition featured an impressive shortlist which included
jacques ferrier architectures, foster + partners, studio libeskind architect and jean-michel wilmotte. nouvel’s
proposal is planned to be built in the district’s west gate location. nouvel stated, ‘this project’s ambition is to create
a stronger polarity at the heart of the ile-de-france and develop a major attraction while relating the project to its
natural and built environment and, lastly, embodying the various elements which strengthen the feeling that the
project belongs in the district.’ the project is scheduled for a 2015 finishing date.
