Building Big

Description

This book accompanies the PBS series "Building Big" ("Bridges", "Domes", "Skyscrapers", "Dams", and "Tunnels"). Using some but not all of the examples chosen for the films, this book focuses entirely on the connections between the main planning and design problems that had to be solved and the solutions that were eventually built.
