Surprising Structures

Dream it, design it, build it. From the loftiest floor of the Rialto to the caves and underground dwellings of Coober Pedy, building a house or a skyscraper takes a combination of imagination, technology and hard work.

This book looks at some of the tallest buildings in the world, and the ancient technologies used to build the pyramids and the Great Wall of China. It also takes a look at homes built by people on the move and structures made by animals.
