The Argument for Beautiful Bridges

In a dynamic TedTalk video, structural engineer, Ian Firth, describes the core characteristics of bridges and provides many examples. In additional the essential properties of strength and durability, he also argues that bridges should be beautiful. Any civil engineer will probably admire the aesthetics and practical importance of the bridges presented.  He describes that, "Engineers have a fantastic scope for innovation and ingenuity and developing different forms." Balancing risk and innovation is critical for future designs and improvements. Future innovations will include floating foundations, high-performance concrete, and ultra-long spans to build and connect communities. Definitely an opportunity to achieve the extraordinary - Daniel Findley, DTC Civil Transportation Instructor
