Braided Bridge

Loophole

LOOPHOLE is a design-in-progress for a pedestrian bridge in Poland.   A collaboration of R&Sie + THEVERYMANY, the project uses a sophisticated computer-generated script to develop a woven, structural truss.  Honestly?  I have no idea what this is made of or how its constructed - but its pretty great looking.  See link below.

Wooden Web

bridge

This small wooden bridge in England is deceptively primitive. Designed by Valentin Bontjes van Beek and Natalie Rozencwajg, the apparently improvised structure is rather carefully designed, - a dynamic web of rough timber struts, steel cables, and computer-milled wood decking that hangs lightly from the existing trees.
