SPECIAL ISSUE ON BRIDGES
    by ArchitectureWeek
    http://www.ArchitectureWeek.com/today.html
    http://www.ArchitectureWeek.com/2008/0213/design_1-1.html

	Whether crossing an atrium, street, canal, canyon, or
	sound, whether ancient, historic, modern, or high-tech,
	made of stone, concrete, steel, or glass, the bridge is
	a special kind of connecting structure.  

	Topologically, where most buildings exist largely to
	enclose space in varying degrees, bridges tend to 
	puncture it.

	While buildings, especially the buildings of our current
	age, may hide their structure behind a complex skin,
	most bridges are expressively frank in their structural
	gymnastics, sometimes to the point of exhibitionism.

Gateshead Millennium Bridge
    by Don Barker
    http://www.ArchitectureWeek.com/2008/0213/building_1-1.html

	Since the ancient Romans built the first span across the
	River Tyne between the towns of Gateshead and Newcastle
	in northeastern England, bridges have loomed large in
	the local landscape.

	Newcastle's river skyline has become a veritable
	cacophony of bridges, forming vital transportation links
	supporting the local heavy industries of shipbuilding,
	coal mining, and iron and steel works. Now the newest
	piece in the illustrious collection, the Gateshead
	Millennium Bridge, is once again making history.

This Week's Quiz -	
	The permeability of materials to water vapor is measured
	in perms. Materials with higher perm ratings are more
	breathable than those with lower perm ratings. These
	ratings vary by material and density. Materials used as
	vapor barriers have low perm ratings. True or false: a
	material with a perm rating greater than 1 is considered
	a "breathable" material?
