The Beauty of Infrastructure Contest

Photo Contest on Instagram

“The beauty of Infrastructure – Bridges and Viaducts”

Second edition of the photo contest on Instagram ‘The Beauty of Infrastructure – Bridges and Viaducts’.

Infrastructures play a priority role in the allocation of PNRR resources, thanks to which interventions dedicated to the renewal of the country’s infrastructure heritage and sustainable mobility are planned.

Moreover, bridges and viaducts are intrinsically linked to the daily life of every citizen and are part of both urban and suburban environments.

With this photo contest, SAIE wanted to enhance and celebrate the role of bridges and viaducts as aesthetic and/or structural elements, taking into consideration their evolution over time and the role they can play in the sustainable world of tomorrow.

The contest has ended on 15 September 2023
