Tour Areva (previously Tour Framatome and Tour Fiat ) is the name of a 178 meter high skyscraper in the high-rise La Défense district in Courbevoie west of Paris and the headquarters of the French nuclear company of the same name . The cuboid building was opened in 1974 and was the tallest skyscraper in La Défense until 1985, when the Tour Total Coupole opened . Today (June 2014) the building is still the seventh highest in La Défense. The office tower has 44 floors above ground and two floors below ground.
The completely black facade consists of dark granite and tinted windows. It is said that the architects were inspired by the black monolith in Stanley Kubrick's 2001 film : A Space Odyssey .
Originally, twin towers were to be built in place of the office tower, but the plan was discarded after the oil crisis in 1974.
The office tower is the Metro station La Defense and the La Defense station to the public transport in the Paris bound.
