The Phare Tower (or Tour Phare in French) is a planned 300-meter-tall skyscraper designed as a green building to be built in the Paris district of La Défense. Thom Mayne is the architect.

[edit] Name

While the word phare means lighthouse when employed alone, it also applies to any source of light used as a beacon. In this context, phare is used to describe the tower as something that will bring attention. The Tour Phare is then meant to bring an architectural beacon to the periphery of Paris and more specifically La Défense.
