The Eiffel Tower, Architecture, And Scenic View

In this essay I have examined the building in several different aspects into a series of paragraphs. Based on good research these paragraphs will put into context the architecture of the building, and the time in which it was constructed. I will also discuss the decisions and the process it took to construct it. The building I chose is the Villa Paul Poiret in France I will further describe the building

The Eiffel tower is made of a material called wrought iron/pudding iron it is a mixture of iron ore and 0.08percent carbon which is a combination of coal and iron put into a bloomer pretty much a small forge. The Eiffel tower was built by a company called Gustave which was named after the owner of the company that signed the contract to create the Eiffel tower the name of the man was Gustave Eiffel who introduced the idea during the world fair of 1889. The tower weighs about 10,100 lb but contains about 7,000 metric tons of pudding iron/wrought iron, But that was just in the planning stage it took thirty years of his life to building the actual tower. Although during the world fair of 1886 Gustave Eiffel introduce the idea of the statue of liberty the origin of the statue of liberty is to celebrate the alliance between America and France during the revolutionary war the actual statue of liberty was created by a man named Frédéric Auguste Bartholdi but the metal framework was made by Gustave Eiffel that was just under the copper coat the statue took about 9 years to build, Gustave started working on the statue in 1885 which went entail 1894 but they had to take it apart into about 340 pieces to fit it on boats to send it to America but then it took 4 months to rebuild. Following the Eiffel tower the iron pillar of Delhi has been around since 375 BC that is roughly 2392 years old, but

During the nineteenth century, Paris further developed into the entertainment capital of the world. Alistair Horne, the author of the Seven Ages of Paris, vividly illustrates several historical moments that occurred in Paris. Through the horrors and triumphs, Paris was able to endure through it all for ages and still emerge greater than before. In comparison, Vanessa R. Schwartz, the author of Spectacular Realities: Early Mass Culture in Fin-de-siècle, demonstrates how the explosive popularity of the boulevard, the newspapers, wax museums, panoramas, and early cinema led to the creation of a new culture in Paris. Driven by consumerism, a cultural revolution was happening, who’s new culture transcended gender and class divisions. Both authors

Literature helps us remember the past and honor the victims of the Holocaust in many contrasting ways. “The Grand Mosque of Paris”, an explanatory text by Karen Ruelle, “A Great Adventure in the Shadow of a War” , a reflective essay by Mary Helen Dirkx, “ The Diary of a Young Girl”, a diary excerpt by Anne Frank, “The Diary of Anne Frank”, an autobiography by Anne Frank, the “Acceptance Speech for the Nobel Peace Prize”, a speech by Elie Wiesel, and “Maus”, a graphic novel by Art Spiegelman all present the past in different ways to help us honor the victims of the Holocaust.

Government has changed so much over time from the constitution to political polling events. In other words everything changes so do countries, which is why this building is so important without it we would never know what life was like back then which is why it fits perfectly with their motto “that the future may learn from the past.” In other words we can know what it was like back then.

Henri Rousseau, born in May 21, 1844, was a self-taught artist who started his artistic career when he was forty. He began his life working as a clerk, then he joined the French army after being accused of stealing money from his employer. He later moved to Paris and obtained a job working for the French Customs Office, and it was there that he began painting part-time. It was really this background of his that allowed his paintings to be original and uninfluenced by traditional painting techniques. Since he was a self-taught artist and had no significant experience with painting, he had the freedom to paint as he perceived and as he imagined. Henri Rousseau was a man who liked to exaggerate his life to make himself seem adventurous and exciting. He made up stories about his time in the military and overstated his importance in the Customs office where he worked. This was also reflected in his artwork where manipulated the painting to emphasize beauty and excitement.

There are many historical buildings all over the world. Historical buildings are usually old and important. These buildings were built by hard working people that usually didn’t get paid a lot and worked 24/7. Most of these buildings been around for many years and have a meaning behind it

Summary: There were one two tall towers that stood beside each other. The two tallest buildings in New York city. A street performer, Philippe Petit, saw the two towers. He liked to ride a unicycle, juggle balls and fire, but most of all he loved walking the tight rope. He observed the space between the towers and thought how wonderful it would be to walk between them on a wire. Everyone called him crazy so he began to secretly plan how exactly he would do it. He thought he would dress as a construction worker to follow through with the task. He snuck in and carried all his equipment up with a few friends one night. They shot and arrow across from one tower to the other but missed. He crawled down and retried the arrow to fix it. They had several complications but in the end after three hours they were successful. It was morning once they were

Parisian Sights and French Principles, seen through American Spectacles (1856), was written for an American audience by James Jackson Jarves during his time in Paris during 1851. The book is part of a larger series written by Jarves throughout his career to allow Americans to view the World outside of the United States. During this book he tries to compare the two sister Republics, and show how French Republicanism aligns with the American version. To Jarves’ dismay the two Republics are not as similar as he thought, leading him to ponder “Why Republicanism was a curse in France, and a blessing in America?” Throughout the book he goes about trying to answer this question. Jarves thought Republicanism was a curse in France because of the long

The Eastern Façade of the Louvre was the one of most important architecture in the seventeen century. The Façade is the main entrance for royal palace in its original proposal. However, Louis XIV, who decided to build this architecture with his finance minister, moved to the Château de Versailles as his royal palace. Nowadays, this side of the Louvre is an inconspicuous entrance of the Louvre Museum. As a palace entrance, the eastern Facade of the Louvre responded the traditional chateau in France by the space’s quality and its French classicism style. However, the pyramid shape of I.M.Pei’s design is too attracting the people’s attention to let people ignoring the real entrance which is the Eastern Facade of the Louvre, even if the Eastern Louvre is the one of the most important architecture in the seventeenth century.

Beginning as a fort to protect the city, then later a prison, the Bastille would become a symbol of the French Revolution. The horrific living conditions its inhabitants endured, the significance of the peasants storming the bastille, and the pivotal role it played in the French Revolution all qualify this building to be a major part of France’s history.

Culturally and historically speaking, France is among the most important nations in the Western World (France, Britannica). France has a vast history, and many significant things have happened throughout time. For example, toward the end of the 18th century (1787-1799), the French Revolution shook France (French Revolution, Britannica). Many revolutions had taken place, but this was by a good deal, one

The first thing we explored was the famous Empire State Building in New York City. I was shocked how tall this skyscraper is. It is a lot taller than the surrounding buildings. We had to wait in a long line for a while because a lot of tourist wanted to go see the city from the top of the building. When it was finally our turn, we first had to take a small elevator about half way up and stopped at the little museum inside the building. In the museum, we could read about the history of the Empire State Building and the process of it being built. It also had pictures of the difficult construction process and early blueprints of what it was going to look like. Furthermore it explained the construction of the building and gave us facts about the measurements. After that, we took an elevator all the way to the top. As soon as I stepped out onto the observation deck I was speechless. The view was breathtaking. From the top, I could see all of New York City. I could look on top of other skyscrapers and see their swimming pools and roof gardens. The view was just stunning. I even saw the beach and the Atlantic Ocean. People looked like little dots and cars like ants crawling through the streets. It was just fascinating to see this. After taking in the view for a little while, we sadly had to leave.

The tower gets its name from Gustave Eiffel, the man who designed the monument, and also did the girder work for the Statue of Liberty now in New York harbor. Looking at its open frame, it comes as no surprise that Eiffel was a bridge engineer when he entered the competition along with 100 other people to design this lasting monument to French culture. In fact, it took just two years and 300 steel workers for it to reach its pre-television height of 984 feet. The construction work began in January 1887 and was finished on March 31 1889. In spite of this height, the Eiffel Tower has just four floors. All are served by specially designed elevators that, instead of running up a vertical track, move along a curve dictated by the

Versailles was not always a château or a royal palace it was also a country village on the road to Paris. Now let’s step back to when it was being built. There was a total of four campaigns each lasting around 4-20 years. The first campaign was building the garden and apartments to accommodate 600 guest invited to a celebration party and not much else happened in this campaign. The second building campaign was mainly about creating a place for the royal family to stay at. Louis XIV the king had his own room and his queen also had her own room. Louis’ XIV brother and sister-in-law had their own room as well. A hunting lodge for the royal family was also created for them to stay at as well. The second campaign was also being at
