With a span of 2,023 metres, the bridge has reached completion and is now open to traffic over the Dardanelles waterway, connecting Turkey's European and Asian shores.
Created by consulting group COWI for contractor DLSY, the structure takes the title of the world's longest suspension bridge from the Akashi Kaikyo Bridge in Japan, which has a 1,992-metre-long span.
Other stories in this week's newsletter include the American Institute of Architects' best homes for 2022, designer Philippe Starck expressing his "unconditional support" for Ukraine after a yacht he designed for a Russian oligarch was seized, and an opinion piece on Cumbernauld's brutalist town centre by Rory Olcayto.
