This striking image of the Samuel Beckett bridge in Dublin at night, was taken by 18 year old Ben Dundas-Gray from Cirencester for the ICE’s Future Cities photo competition. The competition challenged youngsters to capture the functionality of civil engineering in an unusual or futuristic way.
The winners are being announced during this week’s Tomorrow’s Engineers week event - a new initiative whereby Government, engineering institutions, employers and young engineers join forces to celebrate engineering, challenge negative perceptions about engineering careers and demonstrate the relevance of engineering to our lives.
