It was when lying in bed one morning that suddenly the idea for this book came to my mind; I mean right out of the blue. Who, by any stretch of the imagination, could come up with an inventory of subjects that contained such subjects as bowels, beheadings, consumer debt, a famous Indian yogi, the 50 most buggered up cities on Earth, a crossword puzzle? I mean you couldn’t make it up – BUT I did!

As diverse as people appear to be, all of our genes and brains are nearly identical.

Built
Author: Roma Agrawal
Publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing
ISBN: 1408870347
Category : Architecture
Languages : en
Pages : 321
Book Description
Imagine you woke up one morning to find everything created by engineers had disappeared. What would you see? No cars, no houses; no phones, bridges or roads. No tunnels under tidal rivers, no soaring skyscrapers. The impact that engineering has had on the human experience is undeniable, but it is also often invisible. 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. 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. 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. Through the lens of an engineer, Roma examines tragedies like the collapse of the Quebec Bridge, highlighting the precarious task of ensuring people's safety they hold at every step. With colourful stories of her life-long fascination with buildings – and her own hand-drawn illustrations – Roma reveals the extraordinary secret lives of structures.
