I like how architecture can take on different meanings over time. We get used to things and what once annoyed us becomes not only accepted, but loved. Architecture has a weird way of working its way into our hearts. When it was first constructed, the Eiffel Tower was considered an eyesore. Now, it is the symbol of Paris. But most of all I like how the meaning of a piece of architecture can change for an individual. I used to think of the Eiffel Tower as just a symbol of Paris--but since seeing it in person, I remember it as a specific place and can only think of it in the context of my personal experience there.
