A shimmering tower with a view: How Studio Gang reimagined the Montparnasse Tower


Out of seven semi-finalist firmsStudio Gang was one of two finalists in the Montparnasse Tower competition, which sought a new design scheme to revamp the current — and strongly detested — 58-story tower in Paris. Last week, Nouvelle AOM won the competition while Studio Gang won second place. Their proposal re-imagined the monolithic tower as a shimmering, transparent new landmark with expanded functionality.

Studio Gang led a consortium that included local architecture practice Chabanne et Partenaires, structural and façade engineer Terrell Group, façade engineer Hugh Dutton Associates, and other expert consultants from Paris and around the world.
