The architects have decided to make an original present to the citizens of Paris to the 120-th anniversary of the Eiffel Tower. To the date of the anniversary on the top of the tower there will be an observation floor with the construction that resembles an elegant flower.

On the one hand - the "flower" construction can arouse various critic from the citizens of Paris as well as from the guests of the capital, and on the other hand - the new observation deck will help the tower to welcome up to 1700 tourists per hour. The tourists will not have to wait for their turn anymore to see the Paris from the bird view.

Those who express their opinion against the change of the traditional look of the tower are calmed down with the fact that the extended deck will be placed on the top of the tower only for some period of time, not forever.

The elegance of the construct will be emphasized by the delicate interweaving of the metallic girders that according to the idea of the experts will organically fit the whole design of the Eiffel Tower. And the light and durable material will make it very light - only 1,2 tons. The probability that the temporary deck with the cost of 1,3 million euro will be reworded very quickly.

The authors of the project didn't receive the official approval for the construction. It is worth to mention that the creation of the Gustave Eiffel has also been a subject for the argues of the artists and writers of Paris, but after some time the tower became not only the pearl of the city, but also a kind of pilgrim place for the millions of people from the whole world.
