PARIS - PARIS is building a colossal shell-like glass and steel canopy over its Les Halles shopping centre in an 800 million euro (S$1.4 billion) revamp of what has become an eyesore of dated architecture at the heart of the capital.

The vast project - costing more than London's 2012 Olympic stadium or France's 2.5km Millau viaduct which is the world's tallest bridge - should transform the decades-old transport hub and underground mall into a striking visual landmark, even if Parisians are divided over the aesthetics.
