Answer 2

Concept: A famous landmark in Paris and a technological marvel in the history of building construction is the Eiffel Tower, or Tour Eiffel in French. A contest for designs for an appropriate monument was sponsored when the French government was arranging the International Exposition of 1889 to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the French Revolution. The famous bridge engineer Gustave Eiffel's concept was chosen by the Centennial Committee out of more than 100 others that were submitted. Astonishment, scepticism, and not a little criticism on aesthetic grounds were generated by Eiffel's idea of a 300-metre (984-foot) tower constructed almost completely of open-lattice wrought iron. When it was finished, the tower served as the exposition's main entrance.
