Synopsis
Now in paperback, this is Peter Rice's autobiography. Rice was widely acclaimed as the greatest structural engineer of his generation, a man whom, in Renzo Piano's words, could design structures 'like a pianist who can play with his eyes shut'. Working with many of the world's greatest architects on buildings that became icons of contemporary architecture, he brought a uniquely poetic feeling to his work.

[T]he book is fascinating and for those who would like to understand what engineers give to architecture, here is much of it. It is a worthy memorial to a gifted man who died far too young. -- RSA Journal
