The topic that I choose for this assignment is the structure of the Eiffel Tower. The Eiffel Tower is located in Paris and was built in 1887 and finished in 1889. The tower provided a dramatic symbol for the exposition and elevators to make it possible for fairgoers to have fabulous view of Paris.
Gustave Eiffel set out to design a pleasing structure and was disguised the underlying modern grid frame on which the work is engineered with sweeping curves and dramatic proportions. The design was the winning entry from 700 submissions in a competition to design a temporary structure for the Paris Universal Exposition of 1889.
