Understanding the Past Can Help Us Build the Bridges of Tomorrow
Mimar Sinan was known in the 16th century as a genius of Islamic architecture. He designed a unique group of stone masonry bridges that are still worth consideration today. An article in TRB's Transportation Research Record journal introduces a systemic and objective approach to understand and appraise the potential to preserve historic transportation structures - such as those of Sinan - as functional elements within our contemporary transportation networks.
