The Journey from Engineering Utilitarian Endeavors to Artistic Ones

Send us a text

In this episode of The Engineering Passion Express, we take you on a journey from working on projects that have utility, or known value, to the more abstract world of art.  

This story is told through the lens of Gustave Eiffel, French Engineer and bridge builder! You know his tower, but this story is an imaginative telling of how he went from someone focused on practical structures like railway bridges, to building icons, much of his inspiration stemming from a project he was selected to work on previously! It uses some historical information from the small amounts available about the personal life of Eiffel, along with a little bit of fantasy to fill in the gaps. 

Join me and learn how someone like Eiffel, a man of calculation and precision, could change his personality and risk it all on a gamble!

If you find yourself a bit reserved in your risk-taking, but you know you want to create something great, this is an episode for you. Let's take that journey together. Climb aboard now and listen!

The Engineering Passion Express is about growing knowledge and the passion for engineering.
