Gustave Eiffels's Engineering Genius: Bridges, Eiffel Tower, Statue of Liberty
The success story of this talented engineer, who was to become the very symbol of engineering, starts in 1832, when Gustave Eiffel was born in Dijon. His mother ran a family coal and firewood business. His father was a self-educated man whose adventurous spirit and thirst for knowledge Gustave inherited. Eiffel was not only the master builder of the mighty Paris landmark that bears his name. He was an able businessman in the most general sense of the term, leaving testimonies of his work in France, Portugal, Spain, Hungary, Rumania, South America, Southeast Asia and even in New York. Eiffel combined all the qualities of the qualified entrepreneur. He possessed the skills of the fully trained engineer, always strove for novelty, had a realistic approach of deadlines, a warm regard for public relations and the capacity to attract and to hold onto the best collaborators. Ambitious and decisive, he combined originality and circumspection in his undertakings.
