MAJUNGA TOWER
PUTEAUX (FRANCE)
JEAN-PAUL VIGUIER AND ASSOCIATES

WHO SAID THAT TOWER BLOCKS WERE GOING OUT OF
FASHION IN ARCHITECTURAL CIRCLES? THE MAJUNGA
TOWER IS A STYLISH NEW TAKE ON THE GENRE,
FAR REMOVED FROM THE SMOOTH, MONOLITHIC, 37 37
TEXTURELESS SKYSCRAPERS OF OLD.

The Majunga Tower was designed by
Jean-Paul Viguier and Associates.
It’s a re-imagining of a much-maligned
object. You can see their playful side as the
195-metre giant appears to move, courtesy
of the zigzag lines that climb from its base
to the summit. What’s more, it’s full of
innovation and has been awarded BREEAM
and HQE certificates of excellence.
