| Abstract: |
The world’s first footbridge made from a composite system of wood and Plexiglas® is standing in Darmstadt. As a result of this combination of materials, the structure appears light and largely transparent. It was developed by the Technical University of Darmstadt in cooperation with the manufacturer of Plexiglas®, Evonik Röhm GmbH. |
