Om denne bog

The architect often receives all the honour for the most amazing buildings. Jørn Utzon was the man behind the Opera House in Sydney. Richard Rogers and Renzo Piano designed the Centre Pompidou in Paris. However, one often forgets that the engineer deserves some of the honour too. It is the engineers with their equations and technical knowledge who make the bridges and buildings stand – and remain standing – on solid ground. The building is created by the architect’s vision, but the role of the engineer is instrumental. Magic happens when the imagination of the architect meets gravity – that’s when masterpieces are made.

Author and architecture critic Holger Dahl has travelled around the world to visit some of the places where architecture and the art of engineering melt into the sublime. He shows, through twelve selected buildings – including the Pantheon, the Sydney Opera House, the Guggenheim Bilbao and La Grande Arche – how technical ability and aesthetic vision can be united. With this book, he opens our eyes to the close collaboration between architects and engineers – and bring some nuance to the persistent notion that architects dream, while engineers only take care of practical matters.

The Invisible Masters is an homage to the engineer.
