Imagine you woke up one morning to find everything created by engineers had disappeared. What would you see?No cars, no houses; no phones, bridges or roads. No tunnels under tidal rivers, no soaring skyscrapers. The impact that engineering has had on the human experience is undeniable, but it is also often invisible.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.

Built was a fascinating book for those interested in engineering and construction. While reading the first few chapters, I began to think the book was simply a review of basic engineering concepts like compression and tension. However, the more I read, the more this book entertained me with engineering stories from ancient history all the way to modern times. Roma did an excellent job explaining engineering concepts in a simple way. I'm a Civil Engineer but I'm confident that if I handed this book to my girlfriend, a dental hygienist, she would be able to grasp the different topics. So what started out as a basic overview of engineering principles evolved into amazing stories about a wide range of structures and systems across the earth. She discussed skyscrapers, bridges, caissons, raft foundations, building materials, sewer and stormwater design, the future of engineering, women engineers and more. It was an easy, fast read, and I plan to pass it around my office for everyone to enjoy.My background: Civil Engineer working in Construction Engineering.
