“The rectangular spring”
WIth infill : Glazing and
composite metal plate
The concept for the bridge is derived
from a (slinky) spring, reinterpreted into
a rectangular cross-section.
This results
in having the members going in opposite
direction on each side, thus giving an optical
illusion of the cross section being oblique.
