The New Eiffel Tower?
March 28, 2008 - In celebration of the 120th anniversary of the Eiffel Tower, a French architect submitted his designs of a temporary addition to the Tower's top level observation deck that would dramatically change the shape of the tower.
Initially the media reported that Serero Architects have won the redesign competition and that the addition would be built relatively soon. However, it has been revealed that there was no such competition and there are no plans to redesign the Eiffel Tower. Phew - cause the that new addition (British newspapers called it a "hat") is terribly ugly and would have sparked outrage around the world if it was ever approved!
