How does our life depend on the decisions of an engineer? Why do some bridges collapse and others stand for centuries? Why do some buildings make us feel uncomfortable, while others, on the contrary, make us feel calm? The taut cables over a huge river bridge, the steel skeleton under the glass skin of a tall tower, the pipelines and tunnels that lurk beneath our feet - this is the world we have built, and it says a lot about human ingenuity, about our interactions with each other and with nature. Our ever-changing engineering universe is full of stories and mysteries, and if you're willing to listen and pay attention, an exciting adventure awaits you. Surely you haven’t thought about the fact that an engineer can minimize tragedies in the modern world and save people’s lives? Perhaps you have raised your head more than once and, peering at the silhouettes of buildings, tried to understand how architecture adapts to our lives? Witness the confession of an engineer who is endlessly in love with his work. Roma Agrawal is a civil engineer on major international projects. She left an indelible mark on the history of architecture, giving the world many works of modern construction art: from pedestrian bridges and sculptures to train stations and skyscrapers, including the legendary "Shard".
