Eiffel DNA

I got kind of excited when I read about this winning design from a competition to temporarily remodel the top of the Eiffel Tower in Paris for it's 120th anniversary next year but it turns out that it was just an unsolicited design posted online and there are no plans to make any changes, temporary or otherwise. Too bad; I like the way it seems to graft an organic component onto the steel framework of the structure, enlarging the observation platform as if it were still growing. Oh well, I've already been up there anyway.
