Summary:
Recently finished, the Passerelle Solférino is a technically and aesthetically stunning bridge in the heart of Paris. For several years, the engineer and architect Marc Mimram has been making a name for himself with his elegant and technically sophisticated constructions, but it was with his double arch steel bridge Solférino which spans the Seine between the Tuileries and the Gare d’Orsay that he recently vaulted into international prominence. He was awarded the renowned French architecture prize "Equerre d’argent" for this accomplishment. A distinctive feature of the bridge is the minimal use of materials, allowing the complex design to be realised with an uncharacteristic lightness and elegance. This book traces the entire construction process of the bridge, from the initial designs to the completed structure. Enhanced by a wealth of photographs and plans, this publication offers an in-depth analysis of this impressive bridge.

Summary:
The very first school for architecture came into being when the École Polytechnique opened its gates in Paris in 1794 and with this, the profession of the architect as we understand it today was born. Using previously unpublished texts and visual material, Ulrich Pfammatter traces in fascinating detail the origins and subsequent development of the scientific and industrial training of architects and engineers. He explores the growth of the architecture schools in Paris, Karlsruhe, Zurich, London and the USA, and by considering important exponents such as Durand, Reynaud, Mary, Weinbrenner, Semper, Dufour, Klenze, Eiffel and Jenney he provides a detailed exposition of this important chapter in civil engineering and architectural history.
