Golden Gate Bridge: History and Design of an Icon

Bridge architect Donald MacDonald presents an engaging tribute to this Art Deco icon located in the San Francisco Bay. The easy-to-read text details sources of inspiration, the design and construction process, and includes 70 charming illustrations by the author himself. The Golden Gate Bridge has a strong connection to the University of Cincinnati – chief engineer of the Golden Gate Bridge project, Joseph B. Strauss, was born and raised in Cincinnati and was an 1892 graduate of UC’s civil engineering program.
