Sacré bleu! Eiffel Tower to get a make-over! - Yanko Design

UPDATE: News of Paris-based Serero Architects' installation at the top of the tower has been declared a hoax by La Societe d'Exploitation de la Tour Eiffel (SETE). I repeat Eiffel Tower Extension is a Fake!

Here is a fun idea, how tin can we get Parisians more passionate and worked up about their love/detest relationship with their about recognized and iconic symbol of French culture? Why, redesign it of grade! Seriously, does anyone realize what sort of Pandora'south box of hell will be opened if this temporary re-design proposal from SERERO Architects for the Société d'Exploitation de la Tour Eiffel gets approved and actually congenital? Fearless are the few brave souls willing to face the wrath of the French when and if this design to celebrate the 120th birthday of Gustave Eiffel's original inspiration gets approved. Aiming to "create a temporary horizontal extension of the 3rd floor of the belfry in guild to increase the quality of the access of the public as well equally experiencing the fantastic 360 degrees sight of Paris.", the designers projection will extend the acme floor plate of the tower by grafting a high performance carbon Kevlar structure on it. The structure will be temporarily bolted to the slab without requiring any modification of the existing structure. For our Yanko Design readers in France, we are merely the messengers. If you want to track down the actual culprits, we cowardly offer their names for your goon squads to do what they delight. Antoine Bourdeau, Louisa Gouesnard, Dusanka Malicevic Yoichi Ozawa, Jean-Philippe Sanfourche, David Serero, Taichi Sunayama, Fabrice Zaini. God be with you!
