# Pyramid Parisian Buildings The Tour Triangle Will Be a Beautifully Imposing French Landmark By Meghan Young | Published 2012-06-08 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tour-triangle References: [whitezine](http://www.whitezine.com/en/design/tour-triangle.html) & [tour-triangle](http://www.tour-triangle.com/) The Tour Triangle is a building concept that will be erected in Paris, France, between 2016 and 2017. It is to be located in the Porte de Versailles sector, which will bring a new landmark to the area that happens to already be rich in culture due in large part to the well-known Parc des expositions. [Shaped like a pyramid](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/living-pyramid), the Tour Triangle will soar 180 meters high with 41 stories altogether. Designed by Swiss architecture studio [Herzog & Meudon](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/herzog-de-meuron1), the Tour Triangle is another addition to an already impressive portfolio that holds such creations as the [London Tate Modern](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nora-restaurant) and the famous National Stadium of Beijing. The Tour Triangle will be used for office space. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.5/10 - Popularity: 34% | Activity: 32% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Vertical Architecture:** The concept of building towering structures, like the Tour Triangle, offers opportunities for innovative designs and increased use of vertical space. - **Landmark Construction:** Creating iconic landmarks, such as the Tour Triangle, can reshape the cityscape and attract tourism, offering opportunities for architectural firms and construction companies. - **Mixed-use Buildings:** Designing buildings with multiple functions, like using the Tour Triangle for office space, allows for efficient use of urban space and the potential for integrated services. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Architecture:** Architectural firms specializing in innovative design and construction techniques can seize opportunities in creating landmark structures like the Tour Triangle. - **Construction:** Construction companies involved in building iconic landmarks, such as the Tour Triangle, can benefit from increased demand for unique and visually stunning projects. - **Real Estate:** The development of mixed-use buildings, like the Tour Triangle, presents opportunities for real estate companies to offer diverse spaces that cater to various needs in one location. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Pyramid-Roof Glass Greenhouses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/green-pavilion.md) - [Dynamic Living Towered Residences](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/onze22.md) - [Ski Resort Crystalline Skyscrapers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/trojena-ski-resort.md) - [Mass-Timber Office Buildings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/olympic-games-office.md) - [Altered Pyramid Concrete Monuments](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pyramid-of-tirana.md) - [Stacked Pebble-Inspired Towers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/calais-port-tower.md) - [Twisted Concrete Tower Structures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/alta-tower.md) - [Precast Concrete Toronto Skyscrapers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tower-hill-development.md) - [Feminine Silhouette Tall Buildings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/telus-sky-tower.md)
