Tour de vigie-réservoir, dite la clef à molette
port pétrolier, Fos-sur-mer, France
This signal-shaped structure embodies a significant aspect of the Gaullist government's ambitious urban planning in the 1960s. The construction of a vast port and industrial platform in the Gulf of Fos was a monumental initiative, aiming to create a "Southern Europort" with both European and national implications, as well as regional economic growth. The architectural commission associated with this large-scale infrastructure project reflects the era's emphasis on modernity, which architecture was tasked to convey as a symbol of progress during France's post-war economic expansion.
