Albert Tower — The apartment of Ubald Klug and its panoramic view. Located at 33 Croulebarbe Street, in the 13th arrondissement of Paris, the Albert Tower is named after its designer, architect Edouard Albert — 1910-1968 — whose research on tubular structures is his signature. It was built between 1958 and 1960 with the help of Robert Boileau and Jacques-Henri Labourdette, as part of the renovation plan conceived in the aftermath of the war for the then-industrial neighborhood of Croulebarbe. Rising twenty-three stories to a height of 67 meters — in reference to the towers of Notre-Dame de Paris — it represents the first residential skyscraper in the capital and contains 110 apartments. Designed with engineer Jean-Louis Sarf, its structure rests on a regular framework of steel tube columns filled with concrete, braced by Saint Andrew crosses left exposed on the facade. The framework, pushed to its limits of calculation, frees the apartments from any load-bearing walls and allows for a play of stainless steel panels and window bays that are sometimes translucent, sometimes transparent. On the sixth floor, a terrace arranged for the enjoyment of the occupants features a ceiling of 600 m², painted by artist Jacques Lagrange; it was originally intended to have a footbridge connecting Place d'Italie to the belvedere, a project that remained unfulfilled. Set back from the street, the tower, with no overlooking neighbors, embodied the very image of modernity in 1960: underfloor heating, fast elevators, unobstructed view of Paris. Listed in the additional inventory of historical monuments since 1994, it was carefully restored in 2005 under the guidance of architect Gorka Piqueras. The building, managed by a caretaker supported by a permanent round, is organized around three elevators and a metal staircase that serves each landing.
