A statement of love for Engineering as a high human expression and for the untouched Sardinian landscape.
A tree-dimensional steel-concrete composite continuous girder, which was invented and subsequently patented, was proposed for the main viaducts Rio Masone Murtas (977m long), Gutturu Frascu (221m long), Pispisa (137m long) and other viaducts, for a total length of about 2 Km of bridge decks.
With 92 kg/m2 of structural steel for continuous spans of 40 m, these bridges set a record in terms of material efficiency. The project was awarded a Honour Mention in the 2003 edition of the Gold Medal for Italian Architecture.
