| Abstract: |
Swiss expertise in bridge engineering is well recognized since decades.Tengineering international based in Geneva is chasing the tradition of its founder Robert Maillart by spreading its experience all around the world. Is it during design competition, for detailed and execution designs or for high level engineering expertise that Jean Francois Klein, leader ofTengineering promotes is concept of sculptural engineering. Many recent examples constructed on the Island of la Reunion, in Morocco, to finish with the conceptual design and construction of the Third Bosphorus Bridge has been designed following this philosophy. |
