Zaha Hadid, Jean Nouvel, Hala Wardé, Yves Lion et Jean-Baptiste Pietri...
The new generation of star architects are all meeting up on the mediterranean and are set to tower over it from the Quais d'Arenc.
The names of towers are The Marseillaise, Porte Bleue, Balthazar and the CMA CGM is soon to complet its oeuvre work with the Mirabeau 2 tower... In shot, a complete architectural makeover for the old phoenician city.
THE MARSEILLAISE - JEAN NOUVEL
Hard to imagine a tower project without the genius of Nouvel.
Marseille assigned him to its most iconic project: the Marseillaise, a blue, white and red tower that proudly represents France’s second city. Whilst the blue is reminiscent of the sky, the white of the clouds, and the red of the city’s rooftops, its reflections ripple onto its sparkling sun screens.
CMA CGM TOWER - ZAHA HADID
Culminating at a height of 147 meters, the soft curves of this colossal glass tower breathe new life into Marseille’s business district and its port.
The façade conjures up the prow of a ship in tribute to the home of the world’s third largest marine transportation group
