Abstract:

The fact that an architect instead of an engineer designed the Erasmus Bridge was a major concern from a structural point of view. Many technical discussions among international specialists focused primarily on the pylon bend. The Erasmus Bridge is the result of an unusual design process in which architects and engineers interacted as equals. In the end this resulted in a bridge that evidences a full commitment to both technical and aesthetic standards. The design was not the result of structural engineering interests being overruled by the "dictates" of an architect, but rather it was a cooperative process that challenged and rewarded both sides.
