a technological masterpiece in building-construction history.
When the French government was organizing the International
Exposition of 1889 to celebrate the centenary of the French
Revolution, a competition was held for designs for a suitable
monument. More than 100 plans were submitted, and the Centennial
Committee accepted that of the noted bridge engineer Gustave
Eiffel. Eiffel’s concept of a 300-metre (984-foot) tower built
almost entirely of open-lattice wrought iron aroused amazement,
skepticism, and no little opposition on aesthetic grounds.
