The Liberty Tower (formerly known as CB16 - CGI) is a restructuring of the Logica Tower, itself a restructuring of the EDF-GDF Tower. Originally, the tower was built on projecting columns. The framework, visible from the outside, reflects a typically French rationalist tradition, in the tradition of Auguste Perret. When the building was restructured, the thick facade was replaced by a perfectly smooth, glazed curtain wall with green-tinted spandrels. This allows light to penetrate right to the heart of the building.

A word about the architects

The agency, headed by William Pedersen (1938), Eugene Kohn (1930) and Sheldon Fox (1930), was founded in 1976. The architects are a specialist in the office towers they build all over the world, such as the Adia Tower in Abu Dabi. At La Défense, the agency restructures the EDF-GDF tower and the First tower, formerly the UAP tower.
