Full Description
From New York Times best-selling author Judith DuprÃ(c)omes a revised and updated edition of Bridges, her magnificent chronological tour of the world's most significant and eye-popping spans. Covering thousands of years of architectural history, each bridge is gorgeously photographed "elevating the landmarks from mode of transportation to works of art" (Bustle). Technological advances, structural daring, and artistic vision have propelled the evolution of bridge design around the world. This visual history of the world's landmark bridges has been thoroughly revised andupdated since its initial publication twenty-five years ago, and now showcases well-known classics as well as modern innovators. Bridges featured include:
- The Brooklyn Bridge (New York)
- Dany and-Kunshan Grand Bridge (China)
- Gateshead Millennium Bridge (England)
- The Golden Gate Bridge (San Francisco)
- Zakim Bridge (Boston)
