The podcast “110 Histórias | 110 Objetos” (“110 Stories, 110 Objects”) covers the 110 years of history of Instituto Superior Técnico, through its past, present and future objects.

A collection of objects related to different fields, such as science, music, arts and sports, is the starting point for conversations with people who will tell us more about the history of these objects.

A new episode is released every week. The podcast “110 Histórias | 110 Objetos” (“110 Stories, 110 Objects”) is part of the Público newspaper podcasts.

Today’s episode (#35) – 25th February 2022: “110 Histórias | 110 Objetos” (“110 Stories, 110 Objects”) – The Arrábida Bridge Model.

The Arrábida Bridge Model, one of the most important works by engineer and Técnico professor Edgar Cardoso, has been at Técnico since at least the 1970s, first in the Main Building and later in the Civil Engineering Museum. The Arrábida Bridge, which was inaugurated in 1963, shows Edgar Cardoso’s rigorous and demanding work. We must highlight the impressive aesthetics of his projects and his pioneering work in the use of scale model bridges in order to test their resistance.
