The Cité des sciences et de l'industrie presents, from September 1, 2020 to March 7, 2021, its new temporary exhibition XXHL, giga towers and mega bridges. Dedicated to non-standard construction, this immersive and digital exhibition raises public awareness of the technical prowess and know-how developed by engineers, architects and builders. From the Burj Khalifa in Dubai to the Millau Viaduct, via the renovation project of the Montparnasse Tower in Paris, each of the buildings illustrates an engineering issue: resistance of materials and structures, foundation techniques, balance of forces and analysis of energy performance?
