Cro&Co Architecture Tour Trinity Paris La Défense

Tour Trinity is a major civil engineering project on an urban scale in the La Défense district in western Paris. For the first time in France, a 32-storey tower has been built over a void. But the tower is only apparently built over nothing; it actually rests on a concrete slab over a seven-lane highway. In addition to an undeniable urban landmark, the project takes on an important urban dimension due to the presence of this big slab adding 3500 square metres of public space, establishing links between neighbourhoods that had been divided. The project by Cro&Co Architecture offers a solution that truly improves users’ quality of life.

The Paris campus of the École Ducasse is designed by Arte Charpentier

French chef and entrepreneur Alain Ducasse, proud owner of 20 restaurants and 21 Michelin stars, recently inaugurated the Paris campus of his cooking school, École Ducasse, in the area of Meudon-la-Forêt. The design for the campus, which includes a restaurant, was cooked up by Parisian firm Arte Charpentier. It takes the form of a mix of four geometrically-shaped volumes, all covered by an irregular composite aluminium shell and joined together by a shared reinforced concrete base. At the heart of the four volumes - which are thematically split into earth, fire, air and water - lies a vast atrium which connects them together.
