@emollick This cool story about pyramid-building innovation showed up in my feed via at least two of the smartest folks I follow (@4misceldah and @alex_peys). For interested non-architect (like me), I definitely recommend “Why Buildings Stand Up” by Salvadori … amzn.to/2EunEA7

@emollick @4misceldah @alex_peys With a cool discussion of the pyramids, and then lots more on the Eiffel Tower and Brooklyn Bridge (as well as materials and building firms more generally)

@emollick @4misceldah @alex_peys But for mathematical thinkers willing to indulge their inner architecture/structure dilettante, do not miss Gordon’s “Structures: Or Why Things Don't Fall Down” 🤯 amzn.to/2BPW6DN
