The Eiffel Tower - Gustave Eiffel - książka
Producent: Taschen
The creation of the Eiffel Tower stands as an unparalleled blend of engineering ingenuity and artistic vision. As a universal emblem of Paris, the Tower transcends geographical boundaries, symbolizing the City of Light from the heart of America to the distant shores of Australia, making every journey to France incomplete without acknowledging its presence. In 1889, Gustave Eiffel unveiled his iron giant at the Champ de Mars during the World’s Fair, capturing the title of the world’s tallest structure at that time. Though the Chrysler Building eventually outstripped it in height 41 years later, the Eiffel Tower’s allure remained undiminished. Initially intended to grace the skyline for only 20 years, it defied expectations to become a permanent, dazzling highlight of Paris. Attracting around seven million visitors annually, its charm captivates with a commanding presence during the day and a magical twinkling at night, inspiring people from all walks of life.This new edition from TASCHEN draws from Gustave Eiffel's original limited edition folio, diving deep into the conception and realization of this iconic structure. Through a series of double-page spreads, detailed drawings, and in-situ photographs, the book meticulously traces the Tower’s construction layer by layer. With additional new images and enriched historical context, the work serves as a treasure trove of vintage architectural marvel and offers a unique perspective into the genesis of one of the most celebrated icons in the world.
