"Colourful (de)construction is a symbolic gesture on the scale of a district like La Défense. The design of the tower, which a priori functions by a succession of horizontal planes, is here reversed onto a vertical axis.

This work, produced in situ, specifically for the entrance hall of the ENEDIS White Tower (formerly ERDF), reuses the elements of the newly designed interior architecture. The geometric shapes that make it up, through a game of superimpositions and homothetic variations, are modeled on the plan of the floors. "
