Are you actually serious? Bridges actually have to be buildable, and not just "look nice".


The peace bridge just happens to look amazing, it is amongst the more complicated engineered structures anywhere for its size, meets the design criteria, etc. I think some starting out architect that you are talking about would have trouble simply meeting the design criteria in this case.
Read my post, I said it "is not" like doing a water colour in you basement.
