PRESENTATION OUTLINE
Who built the Statue
This statue’s building started in 1922 and it was fully built in the 1931 . The statue was created by French sculptor Paul Landowski who is an engineer and the people that helped design it with his engineers and the construction workers.
How did it get destroyed?
The statue was hit by lightning in a very dangerous storm . It made the whole statue full down and during the storm other buildings were hit by lighting but they were not destroyed as bad as the statue of Cristo . What the cool thing that happened was that after the statue gut hit it stayed purple for 2 or 3 minutes which for sicrntists was a new and cool thing .
How did they build the statue of Christo?
In 1921 the Roman Catholic of Rio de Janeiro proposed that a statue of Christ be built on the 2,310-foot (704-metre) summit, which, because of its commanding height, would make it visible from anywhere in Rio.It took 6000 tiles to build the structure. The roman catholic still keep their statue of cristo in their history. They made a redeemer statue for the statue of christo and now that is in the 7 wonders of the modern world.
What could we do to prevent this from ever happening again ?
The lightning was hit and there is nothing we could do about it since it is the tallest building in rio de janeiro. There is one thing we can do though. We can fix the material they used soapstone and concrete.
This is what the government is trying to do?
Haydale is now entering an 18-month research programme run by the National Technology Exploration Programme (NATEP) to a develop highly conductive carbon fibre material containing graphene that can withstand lightning strikes, as well as being cheaper and faster to build than current methods. Even though they made à redeem statue they did not want the people to feel bad so they tried to make à statue as fast as they can.
