Paris is Getting Taller



High-rise buildings are banned by local law within the boundaries of the city of Paris itself. But, by 2012, a futuristic and eco-friendly tower, Le Phare is to be constructed in the business district of La Défense. Le Phare is part of a plan to revive La Défense, an area of modest office buildings, built between 1958 and 1989. The architect Thom Mayne is the name behind the project.
