FOUNDATIONS OF RESILIENCE - HIDDEN HISTORIES OF STEEL AND STONE IN CIVIL ENGINEERING

"Foundations of Resilience" is a work that explores the history of civil engineering and its impact on the development of civilizations through iconic building achievements. From the earliest shelter constructions to monuments such as the Great Pyramid of Giza and the Roman Colosseum, the book highlights how humanity has adapted its environment through technical innovations and hydraulic solutions, such as the Roman aqueducts. It also reflects on how the principles of durability and sustainability of the past can be applied in modern engineering to meet contemporary challenges, paying tribute to human ingenuity and its ability to create resilient structures that endure over time.
