Highways: An Architectural Approach


Add your own review!

Overview

With greater emphasis now being placed on rebuilding and refitting of highways, rather than new construction, design of highways needs to be compatible with the surroundings more than ever. Most highway designers and builders have been educated and trained as engineers; hence they tend to be concerned with the components of design and operation. This volume employs a broader outlook to explain the complete highway project, addressing concerns such as aesthetic values, economies of scale, purpose of the facility, and adaptation of original planning concepts. With this emphasis on the complete picture, it aims to help professionals in the highway community to adapt to future advances in the field.
