De quoi s'agit-il ?

In Built (2018), Agrawal sheds light on the often-overlooked heroes of construction: structural engineers. Regrettably, structural engineering typically grabs headlines only in the aftermath of disasters, like a bridge collapse or building failure. Agrawal's narrative in Built provides a more comprehensive understanding of the engineer's role, presenting various stories and intriguing details about the structures shaping our world and the individuals behind their creation.

Résumé du livre

A renowned structural engineer, Roma Agrawal has been involved in the design of bridges, many skyscrapers and sculptures. He contributed to the construction of The Shard in London, the tallest building in Western Europe. He has lectured extensively and has presented television programs for the BBC and Discovery.
