The Eiffel Tower to be “Modded” Next Year



To celebrate the 120th Anniversary of the Eiffel Tower next year, Paris will "mod" the iconic landmark by extending the 3rd floor of the Eiffel Tower!

The design was created by Serero Architects, who won a design competition. The "ruffles" will be built from carbon Kevlar to give visitors an improved 360° view of Paris and double the capacity of the platform. If you’re a purist, don’t fret: the structure is only temporary.
