Apparently Pres.Sarkozy and Pres. Medvedev approved it, but the Mayor of Paris is furious.
I love it! Pretty and different.

My husband likes it too! He said that I am entitled to my opinion, even if it is wrong! LOL!

One thing we did agree on was the photo from above...the white netting flowing off the onion domes look like whirling dervishes!

Generally, I am not in favor of these kinds of innovations - however, if the idea is to cover up that ugly netting structure with greenery and other naturally shading/cooling plants; and also to lower the lifetime cost of the structure, I can't say it's unprincipled. It might look better?
