UNStudio / Erasmus Bridge explores the celebrated Rotterdam bridge, that brought UNStudio, the firm of Ben van Berkel and Caroline Bos, into the architectural spotlight. The Erasmus Bridge, called "The Swan" by locals because of it's graceful posture over the River Maas, is the product of an integrated design approach and innovative engineering. The book features extensive photographic documentation of the construction and finished project by Hans-Juergen Commerell, accompanied by an exhaustive and detailed presentation of sketches, models, renderings and working drawings that allows complete and careful study of the project from it's conception to it's completion. The in-depth graphic examination is accompanied by commentary from the architects and critics that further explore both the techinical and cultural significance of this important structure. http://www.papress.com
