Puente hidraulico Londres.

Bien, el otro dia cogi empezado en discovery channel un programa en el que salia un puente en londres, peatonal y para cruzar un canal (serían unos 10 metros) que consistia en un puente normal y corriente con la barandilla en zig-zag, que cuando se tenia que plegar unos cilindros hiidraulicos avanzaban y "plegaban" el puente dejandolo en forma de octogono a un lado de éste. A la hora de extenderlo, caso conrario, los cilindros se encogian y se iba restaurando hasta que quedaba recto. el motivo de hacer asi la barandilla era que si la hacian recta el puente no quedaría en forma de octogono si no algo amofro.
Pues bien, alguien conoce el puente? el hombre que lo ha hecho? algo? esque al buscar en google por puente peatonal londres, puente hidraulico londres no me aparece ningun resultado y no cogi ningun dato, un saludo y gracias.

London Bridge Is Curling Up


It isn't every day that you see a steel bridge that lifts upward like a trained seal standing on its front flippers and curls itself into a ball - or, more precisely, an octahedron.

The almost-40-foot-long remote-controlled hydraulic bridge - which spans an offshoot of the Grand Union Canal - is one of three that were commissioned for Paddington Basin, a mixed-use development in Northwest London.

Popularly known as the Rolling Bridge, it was designed for foot traffic by Thomas Heatherwick, a 34-year-old Briton whose multidisciplinary design studio has ventured into the realms of sculpture and architecture.

''The job of a bridge is to get out of the way,'' Heatherwick explains, but he says that most drawbridges look ''broken'' when angled in the air.

''We were looking for something more transformative.''

And more theatrical.

Heatherwick deliberately made the bridge structure appear ordinary, so that when it lies flat you won't give it a second look - until, that is, it begins its graceful gymnastics.

''How it works is the extraordinary aspect of it,'' he says.

Heatherwick loves to confound expectations.

In 1997, he designed a window display for Harvey Nichols in London that kept going, right onto the sidewalk.

He is just a few weeks away from completing the tallest sculpture in England, outside a stadium in Manchester.

A bit taller than the Statue of Liberty minus its base, it has been compared to a giant porcupine, and because people will drive under it, Heatherwick sees it as a piece of urban infrastructure.

On a much smaller scale, his tote bag for Longchamp features a spiral zipper that allows the bag to expand.

Tomas Heatherwick es el autor de la escultura que representa unos fuegos artificales en Manchester (una de las mayores de Europa dicen: 56 m)




aqui el figura:


Su proximo proyecto es hacer el primer puente de vidrio del mundo,que ya está aprobado:



en contra de lo que podamos pensar,el vidrio es un material cojonudo para construir,lo que pasa es que estamos acostubrados al concepto de que es fragil,pero eso es debido a que el 99% de las ocasiones en que se utiliza en cosntruccion se hace en espesores muy pequeños.Ademas,es mucho mas caro que p ej el hormigon,pero a igualdad de espesores,es incluso mas resistente.

Justo lo que decia, tambien comentó que está proyectando uno para cruzar el támesis, serían dos octogonos juntos que cuando se cerraran quedaría en el centro. Para ese de cristal, que tambien salió en el documental, la idea por la que lo hizo de cristal era para poder iluminarlo y hacerlo cambiar de color simplemente cambiando la luz.
