From the construction worker's point of view, the inside of the puddled iron framework is geometry and architecture. What famous structure is it? The Eiffel Tower in Paris, France introduced the world to a new type of iron lattice-work created by puddling, a technique that allowed an iron metal to be made tough enough to be machine wrought instead of hand wrought. Although iconic today, the tower was mocked at the 1889 Paris Exposition. Nineteenth century Parisians called it a useless monstrosity. Sometimes you have to look from another point of view to see the beauty that lies within.
