The document discusses how Romanticism and Realism influenced architecture. Romantic architecture featured Neomedieval styles like those seen in the Houses of Parliament, with Gothic features celebrating nature. Realist architecture utilized new materials like cast iron and glass, seen in structures like the Crystal Palace and Eiffel Tower, focusing on functional form over ornamentation. Both artistic movements reacted against sentiments of their time, but Realism particularly emphasized accurate natural depictions and social realism of the working class.

"Essentially, the structure of the Eiffel Tower—which was a far-ranging extrapolation of Eiffel's spidery, wrought-iron bridge pylons—could not have been more simple: four immense, tapering, curved, lattice-girder piers that meet asymptotically. These piers rise from an immensely broad square base—125 meters on a side—and are laced together at two levels by connecting girders to form an integral unity of great stability..." — Marvin Trachtenberg and Isabelle Hyman. Architecture: from Prehistory to Post-Modernism. p485. Details Built for the 1889 International Exhibition, Paris, the centenary celebration of the French Revolution. On the Av. Gustave Eiffel, by the river Seine. 300 m (985 ft) tall.
