It depends on the region of Africa and class. In the north (Saharan countries) poor people's homes are built of low grade sand and mud, while middle and upper class homes are built of higher quality of sand and mud, due to the climate. In the nations near the equator, the poor people's homes are built of discarded medals and wood, resembling shacks, while middle and upper class homes are built of brick and sometimes brick and wood. In the southern part of Africa (South Africa and Botswana) poor people's homes are identical to those near the equator. And middle and upper class homes are made of brick, brick and wood, and some are even made of marble and granite. South Africa and Botswana probably have the best constructed homes.

The most iconic building in France (for foreigners) must be the Eiffel tower. Notre-Dame cathedral, the Sacré-Coeur basilica, the Centre Pompidou (the inside-out building), the Arc De Triomphe are great landmarks too.

That would be the conference center on temple square.

The Eiffel Tower was built because Gustave Eiffel, the architect, wanted to enter a world-wide architectural contest. It was meant to be taken down 20 years later, but it served useful for communication, so they kept it.

Like most skyscrapers, it is a monument to vanity. It accommodates a casino, owned by an US firm, in the lower levels; and carries on the top of the tower, antennae for communications. (Though these could have been placed on any tall hill.)

The Willis (former Sears) Tower in Chicago is the tallest building in the United States, beating the Empire State Building by about 275 feet.

There were a total of 114 deaths associated with the building of the Hoover Dam.

The official figure however, is 96. Figures other than the official figure vary from the official 96 deaths to 112-114. According to the website of the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation, figures higher than 96 are including additional deaths such as deaths prior to the authorization of the dam's construction, deaths of nearby workers that may or may not have been directly involved with the project, deaths of workers who died of causes unrelated to the project, and deaths of family members of the dam's construction workers. The Bureau of Reclamation also points out on it's site that despite myth and rumor to the contrary, there are no bodies buried within the concrete of Hoover Dam.
