Redesigning the Eiffel Tower - Serero Project (GALLERY)

Serero Architects have won the open competition to redesign any of the Eiffel Tower’s public reception and access areas as a celebration of the 120th birthday of Gustave Eiffel’s original creation.

Serero’s project plans to extend the top floor plate of the tower by attaching a high performance carbon Kevlar structure on it that will expand the usable floor area from 280 m2 to 580m2. The extension aims to “increase the quality of the access of the public as well as experiencing the fantastic 360 degrees sight of Paris.”

The structure will be temporarily bolted without any modification of the existing structure.

UPDATE:  This turned out to be a lovely hoax, fooling the world (even the Guardian).  Read more HERE.

Well they didn't ask me, but I think this is stupid. There will be more light pollution, it will reduce the view and it's ugly. C'est la vie!

yep, i dont like that idea either, okey lets "upgrade" all our old buildings and marks.. _yeah right_

dylo, this is not an upgrade. it is a temporary celebration of landmark in its 120 anniversary. It will be removed after a while. I think its great to spice up the 120 yo tower, we all need makeovers, lol
