CMA CGM Tower, Deconstructivist skyscraper in Euroméditerranée district, Marseille, France.
The CMA CGM Tower rises 147 meters with 33 floors, featuring fluid lines and non-orthogonal forms that create dynamic shapes against the Mediterranean sky.
The construction of this maritime company headquarters started in 2006 under architect Zaha Hadid's supervision and reached completion in September 2011.
The tower represents the evolution of Marseille's architecture, connecting the historical port city with contemporary design through its innovative structural approach.
Twenty elevators serve the building's 94,000 square meters of space, accommodating 2,200 employees who were previously scattered across seven different locations.
The structure interacts with sunlight throughout the day while maintaining visual connections with Notre-Dame de la Garde basilica and Château d'If.
