It's "beauty" is measured by if it's older. Bridges built after 1950 or so, while still impressive and beautiful, usually don't have the same beauty as older bridges. Of course the Golden Gate and Brooklyn Bridges are probably two of the most beautiful bridges in the world. The Manhattan one is also beautiful. But when you start looking at the Verazanno, the Whitestone, and Throgs Neck, they are "products of their era", and not "quite" the Golden Gate Bridge or the Brooklyn Bridge. Even the GW, while a little more awe inspiring than the Throgs Neck or Whitestone is somewhat lacking. I believe the GW was supposed to have a stone covering, but that was forgone becuase of the Depression or something. The Verazzano is awe inspiring because of it's size, but the towers themselves are very bland. That bridge would probaly win the contest in the world if it was a little more intricate in design, as it's mere size alone makes it awe inspiring. I can't imagine if they designed it like the Golden Gate or some other older bridge how amazing it would be. |
