Building Big

Just why & how things have and take the shapes they do is at the core of this engaging book. A trip back to the basic process of design from which all structures begin, from realization, to struggles to configure, to the creation of the final construction - bridges, tunnels, skyscrapers, domes and dams - is worth the price of admission. Companion to the 5-part PBS series. Full-color illustrations. 192p.
