Tower and the Bridge
I struggled to read this book. Its premise is intriguing - that "structural art" came out of the innovations of a few visionary engineers - but Billington's style is obtuse and tangled. (At one point, he even uses the word "constructionally".) His arguments are thought-provoking - for example, that these innovators relied more on personal experience and observation than on scientific analysis to create their extraordinary works. So I kept reading. But, man, it was tough work.
