Paris To Get Tall Twin Towers

I've mentioned the ambitious plans for the Paris skyline before. Now Foster + Partners is showing plans for a dramatic new addition. Two new towers, which will be part of a mixed-use development called Hermitage Plaza, are set to go up in the center La Defense area of Paris (thanks, Mike). They will be Western Europe's tallest mixed-use towers and will contain a luxury hotel, spa, apartments, offices and retail space. Construction won't start until next year and is expected to be finished in 2014.
