Around the turn of the nineteenth century, innovation in scientific and industrialization fields was all the rage. No place better exemplifies this than Paris’ iconic Eiffel Tower. At the time this signature building was erected as the entrance arch to the Paris World’s Fair of 1889, the iron lattice tower’s designer – engineer Gustave Eiffel – was hailed as the prophet of a new form of architecture. Incidentally, it took two years for three hundred workers to put together the 18,038 iron components using two and a half million rivets. Interestingly, the Eiffel Tower was criticized by the citizens of Paris as an eyesore in 1889; today, of course, it is considered striking architectural art.http://www.forbes.com/sites/elizabethdoerr/2014/02/07/why-paris-was-also-a-horological-capital-of-fashion-in-the-1800s/
