La Pyramide, Brutalist office building in Plateau, Ivory Coast
The concrete structure rises as a pyramid form with horizontal balcony stripes, standing on a massive cubic base in central Abidjan.
Italian architect Rinaldo Olivieri designed this building between 1968 and 1973 during the economic growth period of Ivory Coast.
The architectural design incorporated elements from African markets, creating a modern interpretation of traditional commercial spaces within an urban setting.
Located at the intersection of Avenue Franchet d'Esperey and Boulevard Botreau-Roussel, the building requires substantial renovation to restore its functionality.
The structure features three distinct sections: market stalls in the pyramid, access through the central pillar, and residential units in the upper block.
