Eiffel tower will be decorated with 1,2 ton “flower”

Architects have decided to give original gift to Parisians in a year of Tour d’Eiffel 120th anniversary. On the occasion of forthcoming anniversary on top of a tower the viewing platform, which design reminds a graceful flower will be added.
On one hand, the design of “flower” can cause various censures, both inhabitants of Paris, and its visitors, and on the other hand, the new platform will allow a tower to accept up to 1700 tourists per hour. Tourists should not wait long for the turn any more to see Paris from height of the bird’s flight.
Those who nevertheless oppose changes of traditional shape of a tower, calm that the expanded platform will crown a construction only temporarily.
Elegance of design will add openwork interlacing of metal beams which, on a plan of experts, will organically be entered in design of Tour d’Eiffel. Easy and strong material will make its very easy - only 1,2 tons. The probability is great, that the time platform in cost of 1,3 million euro will pay back quickly enough.
Authors of the project have not received the official consent to design yet. It is necessary to note, that in due time Tour Eiffel also became object of dispute of artists and writers of Paris, however, in due course the tower became not only an ornament of city centre, but also a pilgrimage place for millions people.
