At first I was horrified but then relieved to discover it was not permanent.
Then I remembered that people we horrified by the original Tower and that was not supposed to be permanent either, but that turned out OK.
Now I don't know what to think.
Eiffel Tower Getting Huge Observation Deck Made of Kevlar Webbing
Next year marks the 120th anniversary of the Eiffel Tower. To celebrate, the French will be adding a gigantic webbed Kevlar observation deck to the top, doubling the size of the deck and making the Eiffel Tower look like some sort of alien space needle.
The addition isn't permanent ? don't worry, purists ? but will be simply bolted in place and easily removed later. It's pretty amazing looking, a really interesting way of blending the past with the future. I like it. What say you? [Dwell via io9]
