I find inspiration from Brunel. Perhaps it's because I lived a long time in Bristol, but Brunel was an engineer who also produced works of beauty. The Clifton Suspension Bridge is probably his most famous example. As beautiful as it is, it is hardly ever closed for repairs unlike the more modern bridges in the area which is surprising that it was opened in 1864. He also designed other great works such as Temple Meads and Paddington railway stations (and the whole of the Great Western Railway), the Menai Suspension Bridge, the SS Great Britain, the Great Eastern, Maidenhead Railway Bridge.
I like the idea of being able to produce a classic design that is used by many people every day for many decades. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
