Gustave Eiffel
Born in Dijon in 1832, he graduated from the Ecole Centrale des
Arts et Manufactures in 1855, the same year that Paris hosted the
first world's Fair. He spent several years in the South West of
France, where he supervized work on the great railway bridge in
Bordeaux, and afterwards he set up in his own right in 1864 as a
"constructor", that is, as a business specializing in metal
structural work. His outstanding career as a constructor was marked
by work on the Porto viaduct over the river Douro in 1876, the
Garabit viaduct in 1884, Pest railway station in Hungary, the dome
of the Nice observatory, and the ingenious structure of the Statue
of Liberty. It culminated in 1889 with the Eiffel Tower. After the
end of his career in business, marred by the failure of the Panama
Canal, Eiffel began an active life of scientific experimental
research in the fields of meteorology, radiotelegraphy and
aerodynamics. He died on December 27 1923
Eiffel built hundreds of metal structures of all kinds all
around the world.
Eiffel built hundreds of metal structures of all kinds, all around
the world. Bridges, and in particular railway bridges, were his
favourite 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 buildings, among which two of the most
outstanding are the twin edifices of the Porto viaduct and the
Garabit viaduct in the Cantal region of France. Equally outstanding
are certain other structures in which the pure inventiveness of
Eiffel's company was allowed free rein, such as the "portable"
bridges sold around the world in "kits", the ingenious structure of
the Statue of Liberty in New York, and of course the Eiffel Tower
itself.
