The Eiffel Tower of the capital Paris has been closed due to France protests.
The Eiffel Tower of the capital Paris was closed after a large strike and protests in France on Thursday. The Eiffel Tower which is a symbol of love around the world, which has many controversies. The 300 meter high Ephil Tower was built for the 100th anniversary of the French revolution, but its preparations started many years ago. For this, the government had decided to organize such a grand event which could show the world to France strength and progress.
The French government sought proposals from engineers and architects. After all the thoughts, the design of Gustav Eiffel’s company was chosen. Through this, France also wanted to show that he is ahead in engineering and modern architecture.
Planning to keep iron towers not Eiffel Tower
The name that Gustav Eiffel, who worked on the tower prepared in 2 years, 2 months and 5 days, was longer. He named it 300 meters of iron tower, but he found the name long. After applying the name of Gustav to prepare the tower, people started calling him Mr. Eiffel Tower. In this way the tower was named after him and controversy was also born with it.
There was a dispute due to the name of the Eiffel Tower after Gustav.
Try to stop
From the imagination of the Eiffel Tower to the construction, many controversies were added. There was a section of the people of Paris who did not want to be a tower here. It consisted of architect Charles Garnier, novelist Alexander Dumas and playwright D. Roop. In 1887, he wrote a letter condemning this tower. It ‘a huge black factory chimney’, ‘Iron monster,, ,Ugly, And ,An insult to the beauty of Paris, Like names were given.
told. However, some of them later withdrew their criticism, but there were some who continued their criticism after completion of the tower. To avoid seeing the Eiffel Tower, the Raupas used to eat in his restaurant almost every day so that the towers were not seen.
Why did a dispute arise on the name?
The controversy on the name also raised because the tower was named after Mr. Eiffel, but he did not design it. The Eiffel Tower was imagined by two engineers Maurice Koechlin and Emil Nougier, who worked in his company. He made the initial sketch of the tower, but the design was rejected, saying that it is further improved. Architect Stephen Sowestra was appointed to make it more beautiful.
When the official name of the tower was named, Gustav was named after Eiffel. Those who opposed the name claimed that its design was not prepared by Gustav, so the tower should not be given this name.Critics also said that the real work was of Koechlin and Naugier, but the name was on “Eiffel”.
Many people even said that Gustav Eiffel took credit for the design of others. The dispute reached the court, but later it was decided that the technical design was of the engineers of Mr. Eiffel’s company. The task of providing finance, patent and public support to the tower project was given by Gustav Eiffel, hence it is not wrong to be named.
