As one of humanity's oldest construction tasks, bridges continually present architects and engineers with new design and technical challenges. Often, the resulting architectural masterpieces push the boundaries of what is structurally possible and can thus be seen as a reflection of the latest construction methods and materials. This volume showcases selected projects that combine sophisticated engineering with demanding aesthetic concepts. It features works by recognized specialists as well as designs from renowned architects who typically work in other disciplines. However, what unites these structures is that through outstanding architecture, they often become symbols of a city or an entire region. Contents include: Bridge of Strings in Jerusalem, Israel (Santiago Calatrava), Wavedecks in Toronto, Canada (west 8 urban design & landscape architecture), Helix Bridge in Singapore (Cox Architecture with Architects 61), Viaduc de Millau, France (Foster + Partners), Green School Millennium Bridge in Bali, Indonesia (Ibuku).
