    120, rue des rosiers 93400 Saint Ouen (France) tel: +33.(0)6.60.62.61.90 [email protected] Gustave Eiffel was born in Dijon in 1832 and died in 1923. From an early age Gustave Eiffel showed a high interest in science and mechanics. He moved to Paris in 1850 for his studies, to prepare for his entrance into the polytechnic school. He was accepted to study at the central school of arts and manufactures, where he soon specialised in metallurgy, chemistry and civil construction. From then on he started his work in the metallurgy field. Gustave Eiffel is an exceptional engineer who started his promising career constructing the national railways. Thus, between 1858 and 1860, at the age of 26, he directed the construction of the Passerelle Eiffel, a 500 meter long metal railway bridge crossing the Garonne River in Bordeaux. This first great achievement, a real technical feat, earned him the recognition of his contemporaries and the press. With his first experiences, Gustave Eiffel founded his own company in Levallois-Perret in 1866: "G. Eiffel and Co." was born. Eiffel will then focus on the construction of viaducts, railways or road bridges and large buildings with a metal frame. The Eiffel workshops will thus build the Great Machine Gallery of the Paris World’s Fair of 1867 . In 1875, he built the big train station Budapest-Nyugati (so-called "West Station") in Hungary. Gustave Eiffell also built pavilions for the World's Fair of 1878 , held in Paris. Portrait of Gustave Eiffel in 1893 published in L’Illustration.

  • The Eiffel Tower Paris, France the Architect
    The Eiffel Tower Paris, France The Architect ©Shutterstock Born on December 15, 1832, in Dijon, Gustave Eiffel was an exceptionally gifted engineer and builder. He graduated from the École Centrale des Arts et Manufactures in 1855, the same year that Paris hosted the first World’s Fair. He spent several years in southwestern France, where he supervised work on the great railway bridge in Bordeaux. In 1864, he set up in his own right as a “constructor,” specializing in metal structural work. Eiffel would go on to build hundreds of different types of metal structures all around the world. Bridges, and particularly railway bridges, were his favorite field of work, but he also won renown for his metal structural work and industrial installations. His career was marked by a large number of fine structures and buildings, two of the most outstanding being the twin edifices of the Porto viaduct and the Garabit viaduct in the Cantal region of France. Equally outstanding are the other structures where the pure inventiveness of Eiffel’s company was allowed free rein, such as the “portable” bridges sold around the world as “kits,” and the ingenious structure of the Statue of Liberty in New York. His entrepreneurial career culminated in 1889 with the completion of the Eiffel Tower. Two years earlier, in 1887, Eiffel had agreed to build the locks of the Panama Canal. It was an immense undertaking, but the project was badly managed and went on to become one of the biggest financial scandals of the century. After clearing his name, Eiffel retired to devote the final thirty years of his life to scientific research.

  • The Statue of Liberty
    Reading Comprehension/ Landmarks Name ________________________________________ Date ____________________ THE STATUE OF LIBERTY The Statue of Liberty has become one of America’s national symbols. About five million people visit the statue every year. Funds have been raised to make repairs to the statue so that people can continue to visit it. A French sculptor named Auguste Bartholdi began construction of the statue in 1875. It took him nine years to complete the statue. He received help from French engineer Gustave Eiffel. Bartholdi built the statue of steel and copper. There are 62,000 pounds of copper and 250,000 pounds of steel in the Statue of Liberty. The statue stands about 150 feet high from the base to the torch. Bartholdi named his statue “Liberty Enlightening the World”. On July 4, 1884, while the statue was still in France, it was presented to America by the people of France. Then it was dismantled and shipped to the United States in 1885. The statue was separated into 350 pieces and packed into crates for the voyage to America. Mr. Bartholdi had suggested Bedloe's Island (now popularly called “Liberty Island”) as the ideal place for the statue to be erected. The Americans agreed, and so the statue was put together piece by piece on top of a marble pedestal. The assembly was completed in 1886. With the pedestal included, the Statue of Liberty stood over 300 feet high. On October 28th of that year, President Grover Cleveland presided at a ceremony to formally accept this special gift from France. In 1903, an addition was made to the statue.

  • The Eiffel T E Erected in and Named After Its Engineer, Alexandre
    The Eiffel Tower Erected in 1889 and named after its engineer, Alexandre Gustave Eiffel, the Eiffel Tower is the most visited monument in the world. The tower welcomed its 250 millionth visitor in 2010. The greatest number of visitors (taking on the 300 steps to the first level and another 300 to the second level, before taking a lift to the top of the tallest structure in Paris) are from France. This accounts for around 10% and is closely followed by holidaymakers from Spain, Italy, the USA and Britain. When it opened, famous visitors included the Prince of Wales, Thomas Edison – known for inventing the world’s first practical electric lightbulb, and Buffalo Bill. © Copyright HeadStart Primary Ltd 2016 42 The Statue of Liberty Built on Liberty Island in New York Harbour by Gustave Eiffel in 1886, the Statue of Liberty was a gift from the people of France to the USA. Some of the money for it was raised in France. The sculpture is of a female figure representing Libertas, the Roman goddess of freedom. She wears a long robe and holds a torch as if lighting the way and a tablet of stone symbolising the law. At her feet are broken chains, also suggesting freedom. Often referred to as Liberty Enlightening the World, the statue must have been a welcoming sight to migrants fleeing to the safety of the USA from European tyrants. © Copyright HeadStart Primary Ltd 2016 43 There are a few ways you can change the pitch of a guitar string.

  • Chapter 20 the Eiffel Tower
    Eiffel Tower 2 20 Eiffel Tower France Did you know...? ¬ There were more than 5,300 plans and drawings for the Tower ¬ The Tower was built in 2 years, 2 months and 5 days, from 1887 to 1889. It was an instant financial success. ¬ There were 18,000 components, made by 100 ironworkers off-site, then assembled by 130 workers on-site. ¬ It measures 410 feet (125 m) on each side and stands 1,024.5 feet (312.27 m), and weighs 9,500 tons ¬ The tower sways only 4.5 inches at the top. ¬ For many years, the Tower was the world’s tallest structure with a safety elevator designed by Otis ¬ Not one fatality occurred during construction. ¬ Guy de Maupassant, Alexander Dumas, Emile Zola, and other luminaries signed a petition objecting strenuously to the Tower ¬ Eiffel also designed the iron framework inside the Statue of Liberty. “We, the writers, painters, sculptors, architects and lovers of the beauty of Paris, do protest with all our vigor and all our indignation, in the name of French taste and endangered French art and history, against the useless and monstrous Eiffel Tower.” Clearly, initial reaction to the Tower was mixed, as evidenced by this quote from a petition presented to the government of the City of Paris. The petition was signed by—among others— Guy de Maupasssant, Alexander Dumas, Emile Zola, Charles Gounod, and Paul Verlaine. Paris’s soaring, open-lattice, wrought-iron Eiffel Tower, originally built for the International Exposition of 1889 commemorating the centennial Eiffel Tower 3 of the French Revolution, remains a universally recognized symbol of France, and indeed all Europe.
