Link it! Masterpieces of Bridge Design, av Chris van Uffelen

Their function as a link between two or more places over otherwise impassable obstacles distinguishes bridges from all the other types of structures or buildings. In the history of mankind, they evolved with a great variety of profiles and construction methods. Today, new technologies allow the implementation of projects with previously unattainable shapes and sizes.

Because bridges are very often particularly prominent and symbolic ventures, architects and engineers have to find the best balance possible between statics and design. From gigantic constructions that cross over huge bodies of water and delicate bridges as part of skyscrapers, to expressive arches in urban environments and minimalist structures in natural settings: This volume presents works that represent contemporary cutting-edge engineering as well as the aesthetic highlights of recent years.

Content

• 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 Millenium Bridge on Bali, Indonesia (Ibuku)

Link it! features projects that combine sophisticated engineering skills with demanding aesthetic concepts. It includes the work of established specialists as well as designs that were created by architects who usually focus on other sectors. All bridges share one characteristic – their outstanding qualities turn them into symbols of a city or an entire region.
