Bizarre but Cool: Eiffel Tower gets a Hat
Posted on March 19th, 2008 by Darran
In a competition held to precede the Paris Exposition of 1889, one winner was unanimously chosen, Gustave Eiffel’s ‘Eiffel Tower’. [Discover France]
The year 2009 will mark the tower’s 120th anniversary. So what have they done? well held another competition of course! This time it was to redesign any of the tower’s public reception and access areas.
The winners were Paris based Serero Architechts who have designed a large extension to the top floor of the tower. The idea? Everyone wants to get to the top floor, the top floor is tiny, so make it bigger.
By the way, it’s only temporary.
