Book Description
Why this shape and not that? Why steel instead of concrete or stone? Why put it here and not over there? These are the kinds of questions that David Macaulay asks himself when he observes an architectural wonder. These questions take him back to the basic process of design from which all structures begin, from the realization of a need for the structure to the struggles of the engineers and designers to map out and create the final construction. As only he can, David Macaulay engages readers' imaginations and gets them thinking about structures they see and use every day; bridges, tunnels, skyscrapers, domes, and dams. In Building Big he focuses on the connections between the planning and design problems and the solutions that are finally reached. Whether a structure is imposing or inspiring, he shows us that common sense and logic play just as important a part in architecture as imagination and technology do. As always, Macaulay inspires readers of all ages to look at their world in a new way.
Publisher's Weekly
This companion to the PBS series of the same name offers a fascinating peek at the inner workings of bridges, tunnels, skyscrapers, domes and dams. In a starred review, PW wrote, "If ever a book were destined to inspire a future generation of engineers and designers, it would be this volume." All ages.
Children's Literature
If you watched the PBS series of the same name, then this book will bring all of those glorious structures back to enjoy again. If you didn't, then this book will probably encourage readers to watch it the next time around. The book and the films feature bridges, tunnels, skyscrapers, domes and dams--some of the biggest structures created by humans. Macaulay is fascinated by basic engineering and design questions and why certain materials are chosen over others. Readers will come away with a real appreciation of the engineering and architectural challenges, as well as a basic knowledge of why certain shapes and materials work in bridges, tunnels or skyscrapers. Pen and ink and watercolor sketches show the way certain structures were built and how they function, for example, the construction of the Golden Gate Bridge. Marvelous descriptions are included of the construction of the piers, how the cables were put in place and the difficulty of designing to control the movement of the roadway in various weather conditions. A surprising fact for many is that this famous bridge is no longer the longest in the world--that honor goes to the Akashi Kaikyo bridge in Japan. Macaulay's book will appeal to kids and adults and is one that can be read in segments, which can be savored and then revisited. If you know anyone with an interest in architecture or structural engineering, this book would make a wonderful gift. 2000, Houghton,

Anyone who has ventured into Boston during the past dozen years or so knows that getting around the city is no picnic. Traffic is horrendous. In an attempt to rectify the situation, a mammoth highway project involving replacing the old elevated expressway with a series of tunnels has begun. The complex and increasingly costly project is known locally as the Big Dig. In six illuminating pages of text and illustration, the author, in his inimitable style, describes what actually is being built in subterranean Beantown as well as in many other major construction undertakings throughout time. Macaulay's forte is breaking down daunting engineering problems into clear, concise words and images that readers of any age can appreciate. Five types of structures—bridges, tunnels, dams, domes, and skyscrapers—are analyzed in this fascinating book that is a companion to the PBS series of the same name. Other specific examples range from the humble Ponte Fabricio bridge (62 B.C.) to St. Peter's Basilica (1505-1590), the Hoover Dam (1931-1936), and the Sears Tower (1974). In each case, one is left with the understanding that any architectural accomplishment is the result of a logical sequence of events. This book represents a remarkable achievement, and as such, is a highly recommended purchase. Glossary. Illus.
