The Eternit tower stood on the platform connecting the two sites of the Urbanism group.
It was a very bold design, consisting of a succession of asbestos cement pipes of decreasing diameter, rising towards the sky in the form of a helical ramp.
The ascending aspect was accentuated in the evening, with the help of a moving lighting system.
The whole structure, with a total height of 50 metres, consisted of 1270 Eternit pipes.
