![]() ![]() She tells vivid tales of the visionaries who created the groundbreaking materials in the Pantheon's record-holding concrete dome and the frame of the record-breaking Eiffel Tower. She unearths how engineers have tunnelled through kilometres of solid mountains how they've bridged across the widest and deepest of rivers, and tamed Nature's precious – and elusive – water resources. In BUILT, structural engineer Roma Agrawal takes a unique look at how construction has evolved from the mud huts of our ancestors to skyscrapers of steel that reach hundreds of metres into the sky. The impact that engineering has had on the human experience is undeniable, but it is also often invisible. No tunnels under tidal rivers, no soaring skyscrapers. What would you see? No cars, no houses no phones, bridges or roads. Imagine you woke up one morning to find everything created by engineers had disappeared. Download How Was That Built Book in PDF, Epub and Kindle ![]()
