The World of Engineer Shukhov. How the Brain of an Inventor Works

How do people become inventors? What do engineers do? And who is Vladimir Shukhov? It has already been 170 years since the birth of Vladimir Shukhov. Some know nothing about him, while others recall the famous Shukhov Tower, which became the first radio and television tower in Russia. From this book, you will learn about other creations of engineer Shukhov: about ceilings and pavilions, oil storage facilities and tankers, oil refineries and steam boilers, platforms for cannons, and much more. We invite you to observe how the brain of a great inventor works. And perhaps even find inspiration for your own discoveries. Ayrat Bagautdinov is an architecture historian, tour guide, and lecturer, head of the company "Through the Eyes of an Engineer."
