| Abstract: |
Two signature footbridges are introduced. Both built in Spain in 2006 and 2008, designed by Arenas & Asociados and commissioned by the cities of Logroño and Zaragoza, represent different typologies and approaches to footbridge design, first one as a glazed closed and curved spatial steel truss, and the second one as a curved self anchored hanging bridge. They search to reach high quality architectural standards within a limited cost, and good integration in their urban environment. |
