According to \u003ci\u003eThe Tower and the Bridge\u003c\/i\u003e, all are striking examples of structural art, an exciting area distinct from either architecture or machine design. Aided by stunning photographs, David Billington discusses the technical concerns and artistic principles underpinning the well-known projects of leading structural engineer-artists, including Othmar Ammann, Félix Candela, Gustave Eiffel, Fazlur Khan, Robert Maillart, John Roebling, and many others. A classic work, \u003ci\u003eThe Tower and the Bridge\u003c\/i\u003e introduces readers to the fundamental aesthetics of engineering.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eDavid P.
