Presents 75 engineered structures built between 1900 and the present day.From buildings and bridges to monumnets and telecom towers, the book illustrates the best and most technically challenging work of engineers, builders and architects across the world. Many of the structures are record breakers, while others will have more modest reasons for inclusion, such as sheer inventiveness, complexity and beauty.for every structure featured the authors explain the particular challenges that went into making it, thus bringing to life the complexities involved in turning a concept into a built reality.Includes photographs, engineered diagrams and blueprints.
