Is Eiffel tower a created attraction or a site attraction?

Given that the Eiffel Tower was built by an architect (Gustav Eiffel) rather than being a natural formation, and given that it is one of the tourist attractions that people want to see when they visit Paris, it would seem to fit into both of those categories.


Is the Eiffel tower a pyramid or a prism?

The Eiffel Tower is neither a pyramid nor a prism; it is an iron lattice tower. Its structure features a unique design with a wide base that tapers as it rises, resembling a triangular shape in elevation. While it has some triangular elements, it does not fit the geometric definitions of a pyramid or a prism.


What is the effect of thermal expansion in Eiffel tower?

The Eiffel tower is made of metal, which has the property to expand a little when exposed to heat. So as the side of the Eiffel tower which is exposed to sun expands a little, the summit of the antenna atop of the tower moves in the opposite direction. The span of the movement was calculated by Eiffel's team before buiding it, and the move at the very top described an oval of only a few centimeters (the oval could fit inside your dinner plate). That should be even less today as some metal beams most subject to the expansion had been replaced with a different metal to limit that phenomenon and the stress it could put on the structure.


Why was the Eiffel tower not made in Barcelona?

Short answer: they didn't want to pay for something as "ugly" as thatLong answer:The exact reason why the Eiffel Tower was unwanted at the beginning will probably never be known. My art teacher elucubrated it was because every other structure (that wasn't a bridge) at the time was trying to cover up the internal structure that held it up (beams, columns, etc) while the Eiffel Tower left it widely exposed (after all, it was supposed to be taken down the following year).Gladwell argues that it's a mistake [made by relying] on the first impressions of customers who are inherently biased against the unfamiliar.--http://artichokeconspiracy.wordpress.com/2006/07/08/eiffel-tower-is-or-was-ugly/The English wikipedia article mainly points out how the Eiffel Tower was expected to clash with the rest of the city.Eiffel originally planned to build the tower in Barcelona, for the Universal Exposition of 1888, but those responsible at the Barcelona city hall [the Consistory of Barcelona] thought it was a strange and expensive construction, which did not fit into the design of the city. --http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eiffel_Tower#HistoryIronically, now Barcelona has several structures which it calls "its own Eiffel Tower": * The night lighting for the port (http://www.metropolismag.com/story/20081217/reclaiming-the-night)* The Telecommunications tower (http://www.amazon.co.uk/Telecommunications-Tower-Barcelona-Architects-Blueprint/dp/1874235066) * The Sagrada Familia CathedralOnce the Eiffel Tower was relocated to Paris, the fact that it had been turned down in Barcelona added to people's lack of appeal to itInitially the idea of the Eiffel Tower was met with disdain by many members of the public who, probably influenced by the fact that Barcelona had rejected idea, were not pleased to have a Spanish reject relocated to France. --http://www.propertycommunity.com/property-in-france/126-the-eiffel-tower-and-its-impact-on-france.htmlThe protests reached their climax when 300 parisien artists got organized to send letters against the tower (http://encarta.msn.com/encyclopedia_761568563/Eiffel_Tower.html#s3) Apparently, once they saw how it looked in reality, and realized they'd have the world's tallest structure of their time, people favored the tower so much, that it was decided not to take it down. Barcelona learned from their mistake and now has "its own Eiffel Towers".

Short description of the Eiffel Tower?

The Eiffel Tower is an iron lattice tower located in Paris, France, and is one of the most well known landmarks in the world.The tower was completed in 1889. It serves as a tourist attraction, a venue for observations of the city of Paris, and as a location for TV and radio broadcast antennae. Named for its designer, engineer Gustave Eiffel, the tower was built as the entrance arch to the 1889 World's Fair.The tower stands 324 metres (1,063 ft) tall, about the same height as an 81-storey building. It was the tallest man-made structure in the world from its completion until the Chrysler Building in New York City was built in 1930. Not including broadcast antennas, it is the second-tallest structure in France after the 2004 Millau Viaduct.The tower has three levels for visitors. Tickets can be purchased to ascend, by stairs or lift, to the first and second levels. The walk to the first level is over 300 steps, as is the walk from the first to the second level. The third and highest level is accessible only by lift. Both the first and second levels feature restaurants.The tower has become the most prominent symbol of both Paris and France, often in the establishing shot of films set in the city.The Eiffel Tower is a famous monument.
