Eiffel Tower

art project that was controversial in its day but is now an enduring national symbol

Trump Thunderdome

temporary structure on the white house lawn for mounting lights and cameras

These two things are definitely equivalent.

Tbf the Eiffel Tower was also useful as a broadcasting tower for radio (and later for TV), not just as an aesthetic object
