Subject Information	Also the firm Becker, Gersovitz, Moss. This complex of office buildings, completed in 1992, incorporates the faades and other elements of several heritage structures, including the remarkable Nordheimer Building (1888). Inside, the offices look onto a vast (10-storey) atrium and shopping promenade built along the former Ruelle des Fortifications. Other attractions include a fragment of the Berlin Wall and a black granite reflecting pool with a fountain statue--a work by French architect and sculptor Dieudonne-Barthelemy Guibal (1699-1757) that originally topped a fountain in Saint-Mihiel, in the Meuse department of France.
