Dear PA reader,

This edition focuses on contemporary bridges that combine timber, glass, concrete, and innovative techniques like 3D printing to push the boundaries of engineering and design!

A curated list of the world’s longest bridges highlights the remarkable scale and ingenuity behind these feats, while Istanbul’s bridges stand as living testaments to the city’s unique position at the crossroads of two continents. Italy’s Musmeci Bridge commands attention with its sculptural V-shaped supports.

Across the Atlantic, the Penn Monument for Hope in the United States employs transparent glass and innovative polyhedral geometry to create a fragile yet powerful symbol of resilience and unity. Venice’s Diamanti Bridge marks a milestone in sustainable design, utilizing 3D-printed concrete made from diatomaceous earth to push the boundaries of eco-conscious architecture. Meanwhile, LUO Studio’s timber bridge in China reinterprets traditional arch construction with a contemporary sensibility.
