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.
