Tour Areva, Office skyscraper in La Défense, Courbevoie, France.
Tour Areva stands 178 meters tall with 44 floors, featuring dark granite cladding and darkened windows that form a perfect square prism structure.
The building, completed in 1974, was designed by architect Roger Saubot and architectural firm Skidmore, Owings & Merrill LLP as the headquarters for EDF.
The architectural design reflects the International Style movement, emphasizing functional elements through its minimalist form and industrial materials.
Twenty-four elevators serve the building's occupants, while its location near public transportation makes it accessible from central Paris.
The structure's black monolithic appearance draws comparisons to the mysterious object from the film 2001: A Space Odyssey.
