Title
Bridges and Tunnels of Allegheny County and Pittsburgh, PA
Description
Both majestic and dramatic, yet commonplace and ignored, bridges and their close cousins, tunnels, can be marvelous inspirations or simply taken for granted.
Both types of structures are used as metaphors: Bridges join different and separate people, ideas, points of view; Tunnels are a shortcut, a direct path, a way to cut through confusion and get straight to a conclusion.
For some, there is art and grace in a structure. Early on, builders were cautious as they experimented with new materials and forms. They used simpler materials: wood, stone and iron. They worked with smaller pieces, like those in the criss-crossing lattice of a truss. And this intricacy becomes a quaint, and often beautiful, vocabulary of its own.
