Unbelievable! Paris Is Building A GIANT Glass Pyramid Skyscraper
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 13 июл 2024
- Skyscrapers are an alien concept to Parisians. Besides the Eiffel tower, Paris has only one skyscraper; the Montparnasse Tower. 50 Years later since its construction, a firestorm of architectural debate is sparking in Paris again, as a new, triangular shaped glass skyscraper known as Tour Triangle is making headway in the heart of Paris. Many people are starting to fear that this megaproject will trigger a skyscraper boom in Paris, and overshadow the historical monuments and architectural integrity of the city. Join us today as we explore why Paris hates skyscrapers, and how the upcoming new triangle skyscraper might change the city’s skyline forever.

The headline make it seem like Paris overall is not very progressive but for all intents and purposes La Defense is part of the urban fabric of Paris, and skyscrapers have nothing to do in the old Parisian districts. Projects like Grand Paris will make tall buildings outside the city limits much more attractive than in random places within the inner ring. At the same time streets of Paris are changing considerably in the past few years. Paris is going in the right direction IMO.
Eiffel Tower is just a structure, not a building. So pyramid will be the second tallest building within city limits, not third.
Aren't Tours Duo in district 13 a skyscraper?
edit: it's apparently the exact same height as the future tour triangle
It remins me somehow of the situation here in Munich. We have some skyscrapers over 100 meters but since 2004 there was a ban for building taller than 100 Meters.
And now there are plans to build two 155 Meter tall Towers, designed by Herzog & de Meuron. And again a discussion takes place
For me, i really would love to see some more skyscrapers because Munich looks like a Village rather than a City with 1.5 Million people
Thank you for making these video's.
Very good video and very well explained, but it's wrong, the triangle tower won't be the second skyscraper after the montparnasse tower. Currently there's one of the "Tours Duo" which is 180 meters high and located in Paris intramuros next to the ring road, which was inaugurated in 2021.
Everything has pros and cons:
con: that
pro: Montparnasse is no longer the ugliest building in Paris.
The Triangle Tower may break ground if it's up to 37 ft tall. If designed to be taller, the kontraktourz shall wait for the government to lift the embargo in order to launch the construction. The labourerz are hopeful these days to build the dream project!
Its gonna blow the parisians minds (literally)
It's lovely xxx 😊❤
How could you not talk about the Tours Duo that already exist and stand at 180 m in Paris 13th arrondissement??? They stand at 180m, exact same height as the Glass Pyramid Skyscraper that you are talking about in this video and they were completed 2 years ago... skyscrapers are nothing new to our city. And what about La Defense? You are making it feel more exceptional than it really is.
This Structure is specifically made for people who like to be exposed. Thats what i also noticed and feel about this design. Overall and practically speaking it is not for everyone and it's actually fun to stay for awhile in this kind of place and can learn a few things for someone's changing lifestyle.
More if this kind please ! 👌👍
the first and this skyscrapers are beautiful and in other cities would be great to look at but they don't fit in in Paris amongst all the historic buildings!!!
The only tall building in Paris is the Montparnasse tower you say? I guess you don't know where La Defense is.
He is talking about within the historic circle inside the ring, anything outside it can be done.
@@latinsb4u Then instead about talking about a giant pyramid, he should be talking about how to demolish the Montparnasse Tower, which is an abomination in the historic center of Paris.
@@thomperry1187 The Montparnasse tower is certainly not an abomination, especially since it has been completely refurbished with new glass panels. It also has the best rooftop terrasse to admire paris in all its splendour!
Any structure that offers a splendid point of view is always welcome. But there's a difference between looking out from it, and looking at it considering what surrounds it. @@senses70
La Défense is outside the city of Paris, and it's a whole modern neighborhood.
In my fictional world, this project already finished and successful
Skyscrapers are old fashioned and mostly ugly and don't belong in the heart of Paris. Why not build it in La Defense?
Postwar skyscrapers are mostly ugly, and anti urban as well, sitting behind the ego-plazas their architects designed for them. Early skyscrapers in Manhattan (pick one, I’ll go with the Chrysler Tower and Empire State) were quite beautiful, and, rising from the sidewalk as they did, without an ego plaza, were also quite urban.
I hope is the only one, it destroys the cityscape. The Eiffel Tower still compliments because is a unique monument and beautiful void structure in a park. Tour de Montparnasse is horrid anything glass made that is taller than many buildings should be build in a financial area away from the city. historic center. London has this buildings but they look ugly when they are too closely to historic London.
I hope that it’s location could be changed. La Defense gets by because it is not in the heart of the city. Even still, it doesn’t look particularly nice. Having the Triangle closer in makes it more “in your face” at the same time, I am sure that the same arguments were used against the Eiffel Tower when it was built.
It's like they learned nothing from the first bad tower. Why not cut the triangle height in half and do two towers instead? It's too tall for the surrounding areas.
i don't think it should but if they are, i hope it's done when i come visit paris!
In light of recent events is this wise?
Ujang rohmat.
yea just put that thin in la defense pls....

Either way it was going to be controversial, and I am not a Parisian, but I think its too wide from the side view by far.
However as modern buildings go, it is at least interesting in ways.
However I would much prefer a building that used older construction materials amd design but in a modern way. Modernistic style skyscrapers are everywhere but nobody is trying to innovate the classic Art Deco or crown and castle aesthetic, for example.
For Paris to get a skyscraper is one thing, but to get one that barely steps outside the new trends for skyscraper design - fundamentally it's nothing spectacularly different from anything in most major cities. London has 'The Shard' New York has Hudson Yards, and so on - that is where I find it perplexing. The taste of the awful building that they have to look at is the last collective memory of a building of this size; so it was the perfect opportunity to make something truly unique and distinctive.
There are many people out there who long to see the attention to detail that older architectural styles flared on the buildings of old. To attempt to get to that level of design while putting a fresh spin on classic architectural design and showing the world designing a skyscraper in modernity doesn't have to be just glass, steel, and clever systems of efficiency in energy.
It could have only happened in Paris at this point, so I am disappointed that the designer's didn't use this opportunity to be bold, inventive and to make a one time only skyscraper in a city where they hardly get built let alone are liked, and generate a true iconic landmark worthy of Paris. Worthy of creativity. Worthy of beauty.
You can't please everyone but I'd like to have seen something that pays a real tribute and not another odd shaped glass monolith.
I wish I would have gone into architecture so badly.
I adore it.
Yes, i too wish studied architecture.
People's suffering more important .... Why not concentrate this fact? Who miss one building like this? Middle of the history city of Paris.
The existing buildings should be modernized from the inside according to a high standard. It would create more working places for ppls . A building doesn't make a difference. It's only good for a few people. Especially those who in the future will not have a name but a QR code.
God bless you Channel owner, maybe somebody open his mind
This is so pathetic, as an Egyptian, what a pity for them to initiate us lol
I lived in San Francisco, and watched the Financial District get transformed from low-rise structures into a crowded conglomeration of 'skyscrapers' which had/have no architectural distinction whatsoever. Bland glass and steel and concrete boxes. And as the area grew more crowded, with more office workers, and more auto and pedestrian traffic on streets too narrow to accommodate this influx, so did the concept of civility disappear. It is no wonder that people are fleeing the city. COVID gave people the understanding that working from home is preferable than having to suffer through hour-long - or more - commutes, and then be dumped into a really hostile and sterile environment.
I can only hope that this project, as some sort of weird intrusion into the heart of a great, human-scaled city, does NOT foretell a systematic laying waste to centuries-old architecture. It may be good for 'developers' but it certainly is not good for real people. I question how this monstrosity ever got approved. Parisians, this is something you really should be rioting about!
There's a dozen reasons people are being forced out of SF. And none of them are the skyscrapers in the business district.
I would demolish the montparnase tower and rebuild it with a more modern architeture by La defense and build the new pyramid tower by la defense as well and new future modern buildings !! Just look a New York that even with already old high tower like the Morgan is being demolish to give the city a better modern wonderful new one by Park avenue…
Normally there is Already an Ongoing Project to Transform the Montparnasse Tower

Some fake news. At first it is NOT AT ALL in "the heart of Paris".
Nice! A lot of glass to break next riots!! 🤔
What happened to the pride we once had when constructing cities? Can't we go back to Gothic, Neoclassical, Greek, Rococo, Baroque architecture? Quit building soulless, formless, glass-laden monstrosities!
Look what they're building west of Paris : ruclips.net/video/yZVQD5qKn8U/видео.html
Your voice is saying “Paris hates skyscrapers” but even as the cameras pan we see skyscrapers all around the perimeter of Paris, even if you chose to ignore La Defense, which is also home to some bold Parisian architecture.
I have to ask, what ugly American suburb do you live in, Phoenix? Or something around Dallas or Houston? Do you drive stroads through mini-malls?
Paris, at 5 floors in height, has a density not very much below Manhattan with all its skyscrapers and yet is just as unaffordable. You seem to be saying we should make Paris as ugly as any American city just to give it something new, whether it makes it more affordable or not.
You’d probably think a Paris as ugly with gimmicky skyscrapers like London is the way to go? How about doing some videos about your own car-centric American city and how it can be made to look more beautiful, and more livable, with less cars and more people on foot and bikes. Paris seems to be doing quite well on its own.
Paris would do better to combat its numerous rats and organize its riotous banlieues.
When was the last time you were in Paris? 1947? 😂
Forget france 🇫🇷 come to 🇺🇸
🤢🤮
such an ugly and flat looking pyramid...bad taste
"Paris has only one skyscraper; the Montparnasse Tower" LOL NO MUCH MORE and you can add la Defense district
Where is there an R at the end of triangle? "Tryongluhr." Treeungluh, maybe but come on folks. That's the weirdest way to say it. It's not like that in English nor in French. There's no R at the end of Montparnasse either. Phonics, folks.
