Description
Bridge Builders covers both the essential technical aspects and the aesthetic aspects of bridge design. It offers a brief history of bridge design and surveys the best contemporary examples from around the world with plans, drawings, and high-quality color photography. It serves as both a reference and an inspirational catalog that is neither purely technical, nor purely aesthetic.
