The pyramids, a magnificant piece of humankind’s history, for 1,000′s of years have been the image in which people have associated Egypt with, thus making the pyramids one of the 7 wonders of the world!  We are now in the 2,000′s and it seems that the pyramids are pointing in the direction of Paris… as yet another one is to be erected!

“The Paris council has unveiled plans for a 50-storey glass pyramid after voting to drop a ban on high-rise buildings. Proposals for the Projet Triangle, designed by Swiss architecture practice Herzog & de Meuron who designed the Olympic stadium in Beijing. The tower will have offices, a conference center, 400-bedroom hotel and restaurants and cafes. It will be surrounded by parks, gardens and shops. The building is planned to be around 590 feet high which will make the third highest building in Paris. The tower will run on solar and wind power and is set for completion in 2012.”
