Bridges hold a special place in our heart, and bridge design can be magical - a connector of worlds and places, by definition, and a feat of human ingenuity, blending seamlessly the finest of architecture and engineering. Futuristic or historical, above or underground, long or short, these pieces of infrastructure can make for a strong design statement. They are also perfect case studies to showcase the best of structural innovation and material experimentation, frequently the result of state-of-the-art technical research and collaboration. Here, we tour some of the world's finest new examples in bridge design, from the UK, to America and beyond.
