Rather than a conventional opening bridge mechanism, consisting of a single rigid element that lifts to let boats pass, the Rolling Bridge gets out of the way by curling up until its two ends touch. While in its horizontal position, the bridge is a normal, inconspicuous steel and timber footbridge; fully open, it forms a circle on one bank of the water that bears little resemblance to its former self.
Twelve metres long, the bridge is made in eight steel and timber sections, and is made to curl by hydraulic rams set into the handrail between each section.
The Rolling Bridge opens every Friday at noon and won the 2005 British Structural Steel Award.
Please note that on the rare occasion that wind speeds reach 30mph in the basin, the bridge will not open.


another one of the project :D
really cool design.
it's all about the design! [:

longchamp store;

Following the successful launch of the Zip Bag, Heatherwick Studio was invited by Longchamp to design the company's first contemporary flagship store. With a retail space situated above street level, the challenge was to find a way to draw people up into the store from the street.

The studio's solution uses natural light, from a large glazed core cut through the building, to draw people up a landscape, rather than a conventional staircase or escalator, to the floor above. Constructed in 1¼" hot-rolled steel and taking six months to build, the stair landscape weighs 55 tonnes and is an installation of ribbon-like forms that divide and converge to form a topography of walkways, landings and steps.

The balustrades are formed using aerospace windscreen technology to create a series of uniquely-formed panels that drape with the fluidity of fabric, rejecting the familiar rigidity and flatness of conventional sheet glass.

The project also includes the construction of a new third storey, incorporating showroom, offices and roof garden, as well as unique display and lighting systems for the store.
