Summay
[Summary Plus Entry] Written by engineering professional Chandra Bhushan, this 180-page volume offers an engaging look behind the scenes of building technology and structural design under the title "The Romance of Construction." Moving away from dense mathematical formulas, the book highlights the human ingenuity, historical evolution, and dramatic challenges involved in executing major construction and architectural feats across India. It tracks how foundational materials like concrete, steel, and masonry are transformed into massive functional infrastructure—such as bridges, highways, dams, and modern high-rise complexes—making it a perfect bridging text for civil engineering students, builders, and practicing architects.
