Gustave Eiffel was an arcitect and engineer with a strong interest in using the then-new building material of iron to build taller, lighter buildings. To overcome cultural skepticism, he desighned and built the ornamental iron tower now named for him as an exhibit for a world's fair in Paris. Originally intended to be temporary, it was derrided by many as an ugly abomination. Although it remains preserved as an international architectural historical landmark, and is an internationally known trademark of the Paris skyline, many Parisians still consider it ugly.
