Eiffel
was a talented and clever engineer who was most famous for his
bridges and viaducts. Eiffel liked to work with new techonology,
which in his time involved using wrought iron. He designed the
Eiffel Tower using this material. He also designed the Statue
of Liberty in New York.

The
term suggests a form that orientates itself towards living things.
Gehry's
work contains no right angles and no classic geometry, only
flowing, natural and dynamic forms.
|
His
early work was related to nature, but as his ideas matured, he
developed houses which he created as "a machine for living
in."
