Today, the City of Paris unveiled a groundbreaking 3D model created by Autodesk for the restoration and reimagining of the Eiffel Tower’s grand site—a vast area covering 2.4 square kilometers. This digital model will serve as a key tool for the Paris Council to involve the public in the design and construction process, offering both residents and visitors an immersive virtual experience of one of the world's most iconic landmarks.
Autodesk is the exclusive technology partner working with the City of Paris on this ambitious and unique project. Using Building Information Modeling (BIM), they have developed the largest urban model of its kind globally, incorporating buildings, roads, infrastructure, pedestrian zones, green spaces, and more. The model not only represents the physical space but also acts as a dynamic platform for future development and planning.
An embedded video showcases the 3D model, giving viewers a glimpse into the scale and detail of the project. Another clip highlights the point cloud data used to build the model, demonstrating the precision and complexity involved in capturing such a large area.
At a recent event held at Paris’ City Hall, officials announced the four teams selected to compete in reimagining the Eiffel Tower’s grand site. These teams include Gustafson Porter + Bowman and BIM Services, AL_A and Quatorze-ig, Agence ter and Arcadis, and KOZ Architectes. Over the next year, Autodesk will support these teams by providing access to a simplified version of the 3D model, helping them visualize their designs and create proposals that reflect the future of the urban space.
The final designs are set to be revealed in Spring 2019, with construction of the winning proposal beginning in 2021. The renovation, which includes the Trocadéro Gardens and the Champ de Mars, will be completed in time for the 2024 Summer Olympics and other major events like the 2023 Rugby World Cup.
This project is more than just an aesthetic upgrade—it addresses critical urban challenges such as energy efficiency, environmental sustainability, mobility, waste management, and flood prevention. With climate change expected to increase the risk of flooding in Paris, the city is taking proactive steps to ensure long-term resilience.
As a global leader in digital construction tools, Autodesk sees this project as a powerful example of how BIM and cloud technologies can transform the AEC industry. Nicolas Mangon, Senior Vice President of AEC Strategy and Business Marketing at Autodesk, emphasized the importance of digital transformation, stating that the Eiffel Tower project serves as a beacon for other cities to adopt similar approaches.
With over 10 billion points, 342 GB of data, and 8,200 trees modeled, this 3D model is a testament to the power of digital innovation in urban planning. It’s not just about building a better city—it’s about creating a smarter, more sustainable future.
