Employing the talents of engineers, architects, city planners, and others, the art of bridge building is in essence a collaborative effort. Because the building of bridges inherently deals with conforming to a pre-existing environment, this exhibition highlights the fact that bridges themselves are alike while their locations are markedly different. Drawing from models, drawings, and existing bridges from both past and present, this book provides unparalleled insight into this art form that is truly unique. The innovative work of Santiago Calatrava is juxtaposed to past bridge-building in order to emphasize the startling range of possibilities in this field.

The musical Gardens is the ultimate and unique example of modernist garden art, and was created by landscape architect C.Th. Sørensen (1893-1979), originally commissioned by the city of Horsens in Denmark. The Musical Gardens stands as an icon of a one hundred year era in the history of architecture, because it encapsulates the whole modernist idea of a single artistic approach.

To illustrate this issue, the editors have chosen as the theme small and medium scale housing developments. This choice responds to the particular conditions under which the society works: in Denmark housing is legally a civil right and the State is obliged to provide a place to live for each inhabitant. Also the design characteristic of being participative with the future users. These conditioning factors create an unusual context which deserves to be studied through the various examples given.
