Abstrait: This paper is a critical review of bridge design, particularly signature bridge design. Understanding the prevailing circumstances requires analysing the historic circumstances that led to the schism that divided the building arts and the emergence of civil engineering, particularly structural design, as an independent field. It is argued that the discipline imposed by efficiency and performance generates beauty in the hands of gifted designers and that structural design must be regarded as an art. Owners of signature bridges should promote structural instead of architectonic forms. Structural designers, on the other hand, must understand that safety and codes are not the goals, but the bare fundamentals of their activity.
