Description

Superstructures celebrates and illustrates some of the most ambitious and advanced engineering of the twentieth and twenty first century. Every structure explored here within this book, has been chosen because of its unexpected beauty and its design, which pushed the boundaries of engineering and building structures.

Whilst most of the structures have been completed, some are still under construction thereby offering a glimpse of the superstructures to come. This fascinating volume also discusses the design and evolution of each structure, and how it has challenged practical applications of science and technology. Each structure also comes complete with its own facts and vital statistics that enable it to have the title of superstructure.

This book is intended to fascinate the reader, and will inspire and enthuse the engineer, architect and designer.
