Known as the "magician of iron," what famous architect is behind one of the most iconic French monuments AND the Statue of Liberty?

Gustave Eiffel was the mastermind behind the iron frameworks of two of the world's most recognizable landmarks: the Eiffel Tower (of course) and the Statue of Liberty. Eiffel said, "I ought to be jealous of the tower. She is more famous than I am." His interest in aerodynamics is evidenced in the architecture of these structures, and he even built the world's first aerodynamic laboratory.
