Tour hertzienne de Romainville, Television tower in Les Lilas, France
The TDF tower stands 141 meters tall with three circular platforms and a truncated base made of prestressed concrete at the highest point of the department.
The tower replaced the former Buttes-Chaumont broadcasting site in 1986 after construction delays due to technical constraints related to soil conditions.
Architect Claude Vasconi received the Grand Prix National d'Architecture in 1986 for designing this transmission station that defines the northeastern Paris skyline.
The structure functions as a broadcasting center for television, radio, telecommunications signals, and controls the real-time display of RATP bus schedules.
The concrete foundation required the same volume of material as the tower structure itself due to specific engineering requirements.
