Tour Saint-Gobain

Tour Saint-Gobain rises one hundred and sixty-five meters above the La Defense business district as a literal monument to the company that built it. The tower is designed in the shape of three stacked rhombohedrons, which are geometric cubes with diamond-shaped faces rather than traditional squares. This crystalline structure serves as a showcase for the manufacturer, as nearly every surface of the building is clad in specialized glass designed for transparency, insulation, and light control. It functions as a living laboratory where the company tests its own latest building materials in real-world conditions.
