Paris is the most visited city in the world. This romantic metropolis has for centuries captured the hearts and imaginations of countless writers, poets, musicians, artists, and travellers. Paris is renowned for the splendid architecture of its individual buildings and, even more so, for the harmony of the city¿s overall composition. In Paris there is a uniformity and majesty to the limestone façades of its residences and palaces. It is a city in which urban planning has long played an important part. Visitors admire the order of the Place des Vosges, developed in the 17th century, the vistas created by Baron Haussmann¿s boulevards in the 1860s, and the continuing efforts to create innovative, attractive low cost housing begun at the start of the 20th century. It is architecture and planning meant to please and to impress, from Les Invalides, the Ecole Militaire, and the Arc de Triomphe to the Grand Projects pursued by President Mitterrand inspired public buildings by I.M. Pei, Paul Andreu, and Jean Nouvel. Building Paris is Bruce Marshall's account of how Paris came to be the most admired city in the world. Mixing anecdote and history, Marshall illuminates rare and sometimes unpublished images taken from the vast archives of Getty Images, Roger Viollet, and other sources. Examples include photographs recording the restoration of NotreDame in 1844, the destruction of the Hôtel de Ville and the Tuileries palace during the Communard uprising in 1871, and Théophile Féau's spectacular sequence of the Eiffel Tower being built for the 1889 World's Fair. Thematic essays bring the history to life and detailed picture captions explain the ingenuity and inventiveness of architects and engineers, masons and glaziers, sculptors and landscapers.

Paris's reputation as one of the most beautiful capital cities in the world is long-standing, and owes much of its impact to the harmonious architecture. In this illustrated book, the author examines the origins and development of Paris and attempts to identify exactly how that architectural harmony has been achieved. The emphasis of the book is on street architecture, but Sutcliffe also discusses major buildings in relationship to their influence on the city as a whole.

During the 1960s, building sites in Paris became spaces that expressed preoccupations about urban transformation, labour immigration and national identity. As new buildings and infrastructure changed the city, building sites revealed the substandard living and working conditions of migrant construction workers in France. Moreover, construction was the touchstone in debates about the dangers of urban life, and triggered action in communities whose districts faced demolition. Paris Under Construction explores the social, political and cultural responses to construction work and urban transformation in the Paris metropolitan region during the 1960s. This examination of a decade of intensive building work considers the ways in which the experience of construction was mediated, produced and reproduced through a range of complex and sometimes contradictory representations. The building sites that produced the new Paris are no longer visible, and were perhaps never intended to be seen, yet different groups closely observed and recorded construction, giving it meanings that went beyond specific building activities. The research draws extensively on French newspaper, television and radio archives, and delves into rarely examined trade union material. Paris Under Construction gives voice to the witnesses of—and participants in—urban transformation who are usually excluded from architectural and urban history.

*Includes pictures*Includes accounts of the construction written by Gustave Eiffel and others*Includes online resources and a bibliography for further reading*Includes a table of contents"Being the most striking manifestation of the art of metal structures by which our engineers have shown in Europe, it is one of the most striking of our modern national genius." - Gustave EiffelIt's the home of kings, emperors, and aristocrats, and the home of the Champs-�lys�es, the Bastille, the Louvre and the salons that fueled the Enlightenment. For foreigners like Benjamin Franklin, it was the most beautiful city in the world, and millions of people still visit those same sites every year. Known as the "City of Light," Paris seamlessly blends its rich past with all the trappings of a modern city, and the city's features and qualities are taken for granted today, but Paris was not always that way. In fact, it took nearly half a century of redesigning the city during the 19th century to transform it into the city it is today. Paris's expansion also required new monuments, administrative buildings, and other public buildings. The urban renewal of Paris coincided with the Neoclassicism movement in art and architecture that had taken hold across Europe, which incorporated the classical architecture of the Ancient Greeks and Romans. All over Paris, builders constructed marble colored buildings with arches, pillars, domes, and neoclassical art that used the themes of antiquity.Fittingly, the construction of the Eiffel Tower for the 1889 World's Fair was a capstone of sorts to the reconstruction of Paris, and it remains one of the world's most famous and visited landmarks. Designed as an entrance to the fair, the Eiffel Tower, soaring over 1,050 feet into the air, was an architectural wonder that served as the world's tallest man-made object for over 40 years. As its designer, Gustave Eiffel, put it, "It seems to me that [if] it had no other rationale than to show that we are not simply the country of entertainers, but also that of engineers and builders called from across the world to build bridges, viaducts, stations and major monuments of modern industry, the Eiffel Tower deserves to be treated with consideration."Though it may be hard to believe today, the Eiffel Tower was initially met with derision by many Frenchmen, some of whom compared it to the Tower of Babel and complained that the "useless and monstrous" structure would obscure treasures such as Notre Dame. In response to such criticisms, Eiffel himself pointed out, "Can one think that because we are engineers, beauty does not preoccupy us or that we do not try to build beautiful, as well as solid and long lasting structures? Aren't the genuine functions of strength always in keeping with unwritten conditions of harmony? ... Besides, there is an attraction, a special charm in the colossal to which ordinary theories of art do not apply."It's safe to say that Eiffel was correct. Each year, millions of people refute those original notions by riding to the top and making it the most visited paid monument in the entire world. Indeed, the Eiffel Tower has welcomed over 250 million visitors in less than 130 years. Eiffel had the good fortune of being vindicated in his lifetime, and as he once joked, "I ought to be jealous of the tower. She is more famous than I am." The Eiffel Tower: The History of Paris' Most Famous Landmark traces the history of the landmark from its construction to the present day. Along with pictures of important people, places, and events, you will learn about the Eiffel Tower like never before, in no time at all.
