Built: The Hidden Stories Behind Our Structures

A fascinating celebration of the impact that structural engineering has on all our lives...[an] eye-opening book’ The Sunday Times In BUILT, structural engineer Roma Agrawal takes a unique look at how construction has evolved from the mud huts of our ancestors to skyscrapers of steel that reach hundreds of metres into the sky. She unearths how engineers have tunnelled through kilometres of solid mountains; how they’ve

bridged across the widest and deepest of rivers,

and tamed Nature’s precious - and elusive - water resources. She tells vivid tales of the visionaries who created the groundbreaking materials in the Pantheon’s record-holding concrete dome and the frame of the record-breaking Eiffel Tower.

Through the lens of an engineer, Roma examines tragedies like the collapse of the Quebec Bridge,

highlighting the precarious task of ensuring people’s safety they hold at every step. With colourful stories of her life-long fascination with buildings - and her own hand-drawn illustrations - Roma reveals the extraordinary secret lives of structures.
