The program for this Competition to design a new Contemporary EIFFEL TOWER that should clearly include the following in the design proposal:
three levels for visitors, with restaurants on the first and second levels. And an observatory on the level’s upper platform at 276 m (906 ft) above the ground

Bicycle Parking Station with racks for at least 100 bicycle distributed on the base of the tower.
As one of the most iconic landmarks in the world, the first goal of this International Competition is to design a new icon to the city of Paris.
The architecture of this new structure should reflect contemporary design and historical tendencies.
The proposal must not only attend to the specific function but the design should also take into consideration the urban insertion and impact geared towards creating a new perspective and icon to the city.
With this competition we hope to achieve the following:
To generate a balance between the real historical moment of the monument and nowadays.
To find a design excellence between existing architecture and engineering with the project to be.
Research, respond to and highlight the unique aspects of designing a new icon (tower).
To generate the discussion of ideas regarding the functionality of towers in relation with art and sculpture.
Estimulate the employment of sustainable design in all aspects of the proposal.
We want to encourage participants to think as the great minds behind this building.
