Phare Tower

300-metre (984 ft) tall skyscraper with 71 floors designed as a green building to be built in Courbevoie (Hauts-de-Seine), France, in the La Défense district of suburban Paris.

The building was being designed by Los Angeles-based Morphosis, headed by architect Thom Mayne, and would have been completed in 2018.

Tour Phare was cancelled and could be replaced by Sister Towers [fr].

While the French word phare means lighthouse (from Pharos) when employed alone, it also applies to any source of light used as a beacon.

Tour Phare was meant to bring an architectural beacon to the periphery of Paris and more specifically La Défense.
