ABOUT THIS EPISODE
One of the greatest landmarks of today’s world is the Eiffel Tower of Paris, France. In this series we will go into the details of its construction and what drove the undertaking of such an immense project. We also get to take a look at the great engineer Gustave Eiffel and his company and how they formulated the design, construction, and implementation of the tower. An average person seeing a picture of the Eiffel Tower today will quickly recognize it and think of Paris. The structure has been standing for over 100 years and has been featured in countless books, movies, and major events and is well known throughout the world. Let’s go into the details of how this great addition to the Paris skyline came into being.
In part 1, we discussed how a contest was held to design a grand entrance for the Paris World’s fair and how the design for the Eiffel Tower was the victor. The foundation was laid, the iron beams arrived and were assembled and the Eiffel Tower started to take shape. Let’s jump into part 2 where the construction of the Eiffel Tower continues.
