What the ETH has to do with the Eiffel Tower
Discover unique original documents by the civil engineer Karl Culmann, who worked as a professor of engineering at the Polytechnic from 1855 to 1881, in the university archive of ETH Zurich. Dive into the history of his groundbreaking work "The Graphic Statics," which used graphic methods to visualize the forces acting on a building. You'll find out why the work, published in 1866, revolutionized steel and bridge construction and what this has to do with the Eiffel Tower in Paris on this tour through the exciting sources.
