Now that Jean Nouvel has beaten the venerable challenges of Lord Foster and Daniel Libeskind in the battle royale to win the contract to design and build the new Signal Tower in Paris, which we've all now see some cool photos of (including Nouvel looking as strange and "evil genius" as usual), designboom has gotten into the story by offering up a batch of new photos of the project, as well as, and maybe more interestingly, images of the projects submitted by those who didn't land the gig, including the aforementioned Foster and Libeskind, as well as two others who were also vying for the role: Jacques Ferrier and Jean-Michel Wilmotte. Personally, had we been chosen as judges, we probably would have gone with Ferrier's building. Not just because it looks cool, which it does, but because it looks like a big "H" and that's one of our favorite letters.
