Pontes precisam ser funcionais, seguras e duráveis, mas também deveriam ser elegantes e belas, diz o engenheiro estrutural Ian Firth. Nessa hipnotizante turnê de pontes antigas e novas, Firth explora o potencial de inovação e variedade nesta estrutura essencial, e como pontes espetaculares revelam nossa conectividade, libertam nossa criatividade e sugerem a nossa identidade.
