Summary:
This book explores in depth how, when, where, and by whom the most important North American bridges were built. Over 185 of Plowden's photographs allow us to dwell on the most important scientific and aesthetic qualities of each bridge. In addition, Plowden has included original designs and drawings of structures - some unbuilt, gone, or dramatically altered - illuminating less obvious aspects of these engineering marvels and introducing us to bridges we otherwise would never have seen. In his extensive text, Plowden vividly records the discoveries, misconceptions, struggles, failures, and triumphs of the men who dedicated their energies to bridge design and construction. In the more than twenty-five years since this classic book was first published, bridges have been lost, and others have been built; some of the best examples of new bridges are included in this new, revised edition. All the photographs have been reprinted to achieve the best duotone reproduction.

Summary:
This new flexi edition of an architectural and historical journey across the world's greatest bridges explains why these structures continue to fascinate us as examples of engineering genius and artistic vision. Whether they span rivers or harbors, cultures or countries, bridges have long been a symbol of man's ingenuity and perseverance. Starting with ancient bridges built by the Mongol and Roman Empires through today's most striking examples of bridges, this book examines the world's most important bridges and the history, legends, and people behind them. Two-page spreads filled with photographs, plans, drawings, and informative texts deepen readers' appreciation of the science and technology of bridge-building. The book also introduces historic events in which bridges have played a central role, profiles the figures who commissioned and built the bridges, and offers reexaminations of some of the world's most familiar bridges. From the glory of the Golden Gate bridge through the imposing presence of London's Tower Bridge to the grandeur of the Millau Viaduct in France, "Bridges that changed the world" is a celebration of our steadfast desire to connect with and discover the world around us.

The guest editors, Jonathan Schwinge and Ian Abley of the London based research organisation audacity, call for development on a bold scale. They argue that by rapidly super-sizing the built environment society is not made vulnerable to natural or man-made hazards, and that design innovation surpasses bio-mimicry.

Summary:

They argue that by rapidly super-sizing the built environment society is not made vulnerable to natural or man-made hazards, and that design innovation surpasses bio-mimicry. Designers can learn from materials scientists working at the smallest of scales, and from systems manufacturers with ambitions at the largest. This issue calls for creative thinking about typologies and topologies, and considers what that also means for Africa, China, and Russia. Megacities everywhere demand integration of global systems of transport, utilities and IT in gigantic structures, constantly upgraded, scraping both the sky and the ground, outward into the sea.
