Summary

This quote suggests that bridges, despite being crucial structures in societal infrastructure, often go unnoticed. Unlike buildings or monuments, bridges blend seamlessly into their surroundings, making them the "invisible" form of public architecture. While their aesthetic value might be understated, their functional significance cannot be undermined. Bridges connect people, places, and resources, facilitating transportation and communication. This quote highlights the transformative power of bridges, ensuring the smooth flow of human connectivity while remaining inconspicuous in the vast urban landscape.
