CMA CGM Tower, Deconstructivist skyscraper in Euroméditerranée district, Marseille, France.
The CMA CGM Tower is a 147-meter-tall office building with 33 floors in Marseille's Euroméditerranée district. Its curved and angled surfaces create flowing shapes that differ from traditional rectangular designs.
Construction began in 2006 under architect Zaha Hadid's design and completed in September 2011. The building consolidated a shipping company's operations that had been scattered across different locations throughout the city.
The tower symbolizes Marseille's shift from a traditional port city toward contemporary design. Its fluid forms have become part of how locals and visitors perceive the city's modern identity.
The building functions as an office space and is not open to the public, but you can view it from the outside throughout the Euroméditerranée district. The best views come from walking around the waterfront and nearby streets where you can see it from different angles.
The building was designed by architect Zaha Hadid and represents one of her few major works in France. Its irregular angles and flowing surfaces come from her design approach that rejects straight edges in favor of continuous curves.
