Introduction Human beings have long been seeking freedom since history began. Freedom has become a universal value of life. As the saying goes, “I would rather die than be not free.” Here is a research on the world’s famous symbol of freedom---- the Statue of Liberty! The United States is the first country to succeed in fighting for its freedom by breaking free of the British rule. People in France wanted to show the close relationship between the two countries by giving the Statue of Liberty to the United States to celebrate its 100th Annuversary of Independence. II. Thesis A. History The history of the statue dates back to 1876, when France was in political turmoil. Édouard René de Laboulaye, a politician and sympathetic writer of the history of the United States, headed a discussion over a suitable gift to the States to show their friendship to the U.S.A. Eventually they came up with the idea of giving a statue to the States to show their repect to the republican virtues. In the meantime, by presenting the statue of liberty, they intended to promote their political belief--a true democracy, rather than the French third republic established by the autocratic politicians in France. Finally, Frédéric Bartholdi, a well-known French sculptor, was appointed to design the sculpture and Maurice Koechlin, designer of the Eiffel Tower, was responsible for the internal structure. On a visit to Egypt, Bartholdi was inspired by the project of the Suez Canal. He saw a giant lighthouse standing at the entrance of the canal. He then drew plans for the statue. It was patterned after the Roman Goddess, Libertas, with light beaming out from both a headband and a torch thrust upward into the sky. Bartholdi presented his plans in 1867 and, with revisions, again in 1869, but the project was never commissioned because of financial troubles in France. 2 PDF created with pdfFactory trial version www.pdffactory.com The Symbol of America ---The Statue of Liberty B. Funds At last it was agreed that the two countries joined together to complete the project. People of the United States were to build the base, and the French people were responsible for the statue and its assembly in the States. In France, public donations, performances of entertainment being held, and a charitable lottery were among the methods to raise the money, 2,250,000 francs ($250,000). In the United States, theaters, art exhibitions, auctions and prize fights helped in providing needed funds. Fund raising in France for the statue was completed in July,1882. However, In the United States, financing for the pedestal proceeded slowly, so publisher Joseph Pulitzer (founder of the Pulitzer Prize) used his newspaper, The World, to support the fund raising effort in 1883. His campaign was an important contribution to the effort, but ultimately Senator Evarts and the American Committee headed to raise the majority of funds for the pedestal. Construction of the statue was completed in France in July 1884. The cornerstone of the pedestal in the States was laid on August 5, 1884, but construction had to be stopped by lack of funds in January 1885. Again Joseph Pulitzer launched a campaign to help raise the renewed fund. Eventually, financing for the pedestal was completed on August 11, 1885 and construction was finished on April 22, 1886.The statue arrived in New York Harbor on June 17, 1885. To prepare for transit, the Statue was reduced to 350 individual pieces and packed in 214 crates. The statue, which was stored for eleven months in crates waiting for its pedestal to be finished, was then reassembled in four months. On October 28, 1886, the Statue of Liberty was unveiled by President Grover Cleveland in front of thousands of spectators. The Statue of Liberty functioned as a lighthouse from 1886 to 1902. There was a lighthouse keeper and the electric light could be seen for 24 miles (39 km) at sea. As a lighthouse, it is the first in the United States to use electricity. there was also an electric plant on the island to generate power for the light. C. Structure Workers erected scaffolding around the statue, obscuring it from public view until the rededication on July 3, 1986. Inside work began with workers using 3 PDF created with pdfFactory trial version www.pdffactory.com The Symbol of America ---The Statue of Liberty liquid nitrogen to remove seven layers of paint applied to the interior of the copper skin over the decades. Large holes in the copper skin were repaired with the addition of an inner lip, upon which new copper patches were inset, riveted, and hammered flush. The internal structure of the upraised right arm was reworked. The statue was erected with the arm offset 18" (0.46 m) to the right and forward of Eiffel's central frame, while the head was offset 24" (0.61 m) to the left, which had compromised with the framework. Theory held that Bartholdi made the modification without Eiffel's involvement after seeing the arm and head were too close. Engineers considered reinforcements made in 1932 insufficient and added diagonal bracing in 1984 and 1986 to make the arm structurally sound. Besides the replacement of much of the internal iron with stainless steel and the structural reinforcement of the statue itself, the restoration of the mid-1980s also included the replacement of the original torch with a replica, replacing the original iron stairs with new stairs, installing a newer elevator within the pedestal, and upgrading climate control systems. The Statue of Liberty was reopened to the public on July 5, 1986. D.

Conclusion The Statue of Liberty is a symbol of American spirit fighting for its freedom, independence from British rule. It is regarded as a major breakthrough in international diplomacy. It created a long-term peace, friendship and relationship between France and the United States.. The torch in her right hand illuminated the American future, creating a new century, in which the United States turns out to be the light house to lead countries all over the world to freedom. In 1894, the Statue of Liberty has been inscribed on the World Heritage List. It was the highest in the world commemorative structure. It has defined the value of democracy for the world and inspired countries under suppress to fight for their freedom. The American spirit also inspires millions of immigrants to go to the States to pursue their dreams.

  • 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.

  • Geometry/Labor = Volume/Mass?*
    Geometry/Labor = Volume/Mass?* DARCY GRIMALDO GRIGSBY This is a story about geometry and engineering and also modern hubris. If someone, besides myself, is to be blamed for my title, it is Charles de Freycinet, although to be fair, he is merely an especially useful representative of late-nineteenth- century France.1 An engineer and graduate of the École Polytechnique, he like so many other engineers of this period was a successful politician during the Third Republic. Freycinet was Prime Minister four times between 1879 and 1892, senator for more than forty-three years, and coauthor of a key project for the national con- struction of some eighteen thousand kilometers of railway crisscrossing France. He also wrote a book on modern Egypt and a small lovely treatise called De l’Expérience en Géométrie (Of Experience in Geometry).2 I begin by quoting the latter at length: The bodies of Nature, particularly solid bodies, are the origin of the fundamental concepts of Geometry. First we distinguish volume, that is to say the portion of space or the extension occupied by the body. To give it a concrete representation, one can imagine that the body is replaced by a very thin envelope which exactly reproduces the exterior form. The first abstraction made by Geometry consists therefore of retiring from the body its own * This essay represents aspects of my new book, Colossal Engineering, and was funded by an Andrew W. Mellon New Directions Fellowship and a U.C. Berkeley Townsend Center Initiative Grant for Associate Professors. I would like to thank Professor Kathleen James-Chakraborty, architectural historian, for her suggestions as well as the engineers at U.C.

  • DUE O TRE COSE CHE SO DI LEI 4 Due O Tre Cose Che So Di Lei a Cura Di Eusebio Trabucchi Un Poster Di Grande Effetto Del 1905
    LEI TRE CHE O DI DELLA STATUA SO LIBERTÀ COSE DUE STATUA DELLA LIBERTÀ DUE O TRE COSE CHE SO DI LEI 4 Due o tre cose che so di lei a cura di Eusebio Trabucchi Un poster di grande effetto del 1905. Cinque statue colossali comparate in altezza, da sn. a ds.: il Grande Buddha della Pianura Centrale (153 m, He- nan, Cina), la Statua della Libertà (93 m, New York, Usa), la Statua della Madre Russia (91 m, Volgograd, Russia), il Cristo Redentore (38 m, Rio de Janeiro, Brasi- le) e il David di Michelangelo (5,17 m, Firenze, Italia). Se questa guida non è una guida il motivo è semplice. Prima ancora che un monumento da visitare e conoscere, la Statua della Libertà è un simbolo da venerare o dissacrare, innal- zare o vilipendere; per trattenere qualcosa del- la sua essenza complessa e instabile non serve un quieto e oggettivo vademecum, si ha biso- gno piuttosto di un fervido breviario, o di un insolente manualetto eretico. L’immane figura femminile si stagliò maestosa in tutta la sua imponenza a grattare per pri- ma il cielo sopra Manhattan – poi gremitosi di torri per erigere una nuova, e compiuta, Babe- le –, ma, già nella mente dei suoi costruttori, fu subito anche un’icona, la personificazione di un’idea mutevole e problematica, l’utopia di rappresentare un concetto, un ideale politico e, poi, una nazione, smussandone le contrad- dizioni nel liscio metallo che compone la sua silhouette. E proprio come suggestiva silhou- ette si è sparsa per il globo, riprodotta su ogni genere di merce o manifesto, al servizio dei movimenti sociali, del commercio o della pro- paganda.

  • Kindertagesstätte in Buhl
    ÖFFENTLICHE BAUTEN • PUBLIC BUILDINGS KINDERTAGESSTÄTTE IN BUHL Entwurf • Design Dominique Coulon & associés, FR-Straßburg Buhl ist nicht nur Geburtsort eines verkannten Visionärs, ohne den es zwei weltberühmte Wahrzeichen heute womöglich nicht gäbe. Auch in aktuellen Bauvorhaben zeigt sich die elsässische Gemeinde unkon- ventionell: Für die Planung der neuen Kindertagesstätte engagierte sie das Straßburger Architekturbüro Dominique Coulon & associés – und setzte damit auf einen Neubau fernab von nullachtfünfzehn. Ent - standen ist eine Einrichtung mit prägnanter Kubatur und offensiver Farbigkeit – sowohl von außen als auch von innen. Not only is Buhl the birthplace of a renowned visionary without whom two world-famous landmarks would probably not exist, the Alsatian municipality is also rather unconventional when it comes to current building projects. For the panning of a day care centre, the administration of Buhl commissioned architectural practice Domi- nique Coulon & associés from Strasbourg – and hoped for a new building. The result is an institution with a distinctive cubic volume and an offensive colourfulness – both externally and internally. von • by Vera Cramer as bekannteste Werk des französischen Bildhauers Frédéric-Auguste Bartholdi ist die DFreiheitsstatue auf Liberty Island. Während er die aus Kupferplatten bestehende Ver - kleidung der Statue entwarf, wurde die Tragstruktur zunächst von seinem früheren Lehrer Eugène Viollet-le-Duc geplant. Dieser sah vor, die Verkleidung an einem Backsteinpfeiler im Inneren zu verankern. Im September 1879 verstarb Viollet-le-Duc jedoch unerwartet. Dass das Geschenk des französischen Volkes an die Vereinigten Staaten dennoch am 28. Oktober 1886 eingeweiht werden konnte, ist vor allem einem zu verdanken: Maurice Koechlin, dem leitenden Ingenieur im Büro von Gustave Eiffel.

  • 2E Étage - Les Salles Américaines
    MUSEE BARTHOLDI - 2e étage - Les Salles américaines CAGE D’ESCALIER Deux grands tableaux : LA CALIFORMIE DE JADIS (A) LA CALIFORNIE NOUVELLE (B) Huile sur toile, environ 150,00 x 200,00 cm chacune. N.s. [A. Bartholdi] – n.d. Musée Bartholdi. Inv. (A) : 2004.0.14 ; (B) : 2004.0.15. La Californie de jadis et son pendant La Californie nouvelle sont les tableaux les plus ambitieux peints par Bartholdi, du moins quant à leurs dimensions. Leur genèse reste obscure. Exécutés suite au premier séjour de l’artiste aux Etats-Unis (1871), c’est aux Etats-Unis encore qu’ils furent vraisemblablement pour la première fois exposés. Toujours est-il qu’ils figurent parmi les envois de Bartholdi à l’Exposition Universelle de Philadelphie en 1876. La Californie de jadis — on trouve aussi La Californie d’autrefois ou L’ancienne Californie — est sous-titré parfois La Misère de l’or, allusion on ne peut plus limpide à l’historique « Ruée vers l’or » (1848-1856) dont les dramatiques péripéties inspirèrent romans et films. Pour autant, le tableau n’est pas une peinture d’histoire réaliste et objective. Il donne à voir un campement d’orpailleurs à l’œuvre dans une nature que leur cupidité infructueuse et désespérée a lamentablement et vainement dévastée : métaphore de l’« inculture », dans tous les sens du terme. Antithétique à La Californie de jadis, La Californie nouvelle oppose symboles de fécondité et de félicité « solaires », traduits par les poncifs de la terre nourricière, du retour des champs, de l’humble chaumière, de l’union familiale — façon « gai laboureur » — aux symboles « ténébreux » de l’incurie.
