Description
Bridges is a stunning collection of 150 outstanding colour photographs showcasing suspension bridges, iron bridges, stone bridges, aqueducts, viaducts, railway bridges, footbridges and rope bridges from around the world. Organised into sections such as abandoned bridges, classic bridges and superstructures, the book features an immense range of wooden, stone, iron, steel and concrete bridges. From tiny village bridges to vast motorway-wide bridges, Bridges highlights the incredible diversity of bridge designs and their impact on society. The photographs reveal how new technologies have enabled the construction of larger and more complex bridges, while also showing how these structures have been catalysts for social change. When abandoned, these bridges tell their own stories of how the world moves on. Presented in a landscape format, Bridges is a visually striking collection that showcases the beauty and engineering prowess of bridges from different eras and cultures.
