Typically, bridges are designed by engineers. However, the Millau Viaduct project in France took a unique approach. It was designed by the British architect Norman Foster, who collaborated with a team of engineers to achieve a common vision of building the world's highest bridge.
Looking to the future, there is a planned project to build a bridge from Sicily to the Italian mainland. Industry analysts believe that this project may not be feasible.
