Gateways to New York
Swiss engineer Othmar Ammann not only redefined the art of bridge building but also catalyzed the evolution of New York City into a metropolis. Celebrating the visionary who designed nine of Manhattan’s 11 bridges, the Golden Gate Bridge, and many others, Martin Witz’s documentary offers awe-inspiring access to these towering, miraculous amalgams of engineering and artistry. This is a testament to the exhilarating spirit of modernity that guided a century of urban development.
