The Invisible Pioneers - 12 Architectural Masterpieces and the Engineers Behind Them

Author and architecture critic Holger Dahl has traveled the globe to find some of the places where architecture and engineering merge into the sublime. Through twelve selected buildings – including the Pantheon, the Sydney Opera House, the Guggenheim Bilbao and the Great Belt Bridge – he shows how technical prowess and aesthetic vision can be united.

With the book, he wants to show how closely architects and engineers collaborate, and challenge the widespread perception that architects simply dream, while engineers only take care of the practical.
