[pippyrainbow]

Researching this 4 school

[oOlLs]

From 0:15 to 1:18.. I see it every day...

[EugLoven]

An awesome bit of architectural design (and anxious to see Heatherwick's Olympic cauldron for the London 2012 games!) And yet... for the first 60seconds of this video... all I can see is a slowly erecting phallus! 

[ilaudesigns]

its a lot slower than i imagined, but beautiful nonetheless.

[alanheath]

Thanks for the upload. I lived in London for ten years, spend a couple of weeks there at least every year - if not more - and did not know of the existence of this bridge although I can place where it is from logic!

Best wishes from Poland!

[SpringSkies]

I can't help but wonder... What if someone stayed on the bridge as it curled up and ended up inside the ball? O.o

[rinapink76]

cool

[victoryjunction2]

Just heard about this on Yahoo! Crazzzy!

[FlyinSpaghettiMnstr7]

bridge boner

[muketsukamisama]

hehe its a roly-poly!!!!!!!

[AndyMacProGamer]

A little slow but neat.

[nelsongg347]

There are so many bridges that are a piece of art, but this could be a piece of art with a useful purpose.

[SKAuthenticDank]

I dont get it... now they cant walk across

[itay1013]

looks like a dick



[helllox21194]

it would be really fun to lay down, grab one edge, and then roll onto the other side hahah.

[joinmeforacupotea]

It's like a really slow rolly polely bug.

[bad666blood]

How can u get more dodgy. lol

[Apostate88]

Needs to be a lot quicker if it's going to catch anybody

[24dusko]

its nice but does it actually have some purpose? it seems to me that all it does differently than any normal bridge is let you wait 2 minutes till it unrolls....

[dralol]

slow and energy inefficient

[984francis]

@dralol So righteous. Are you having fun yet?

[jodonalds]

most genious bridge in the world, really futuristic!!

[MoilAndToil]

Does it make that piano noise too, or was that added on to augment the affect?

Cheers.

from,

del-boy.

[HarryYeates]

@MoilAndToil He added it i'm afraid.

[Tanavids]

That's the coolest bridge ever!

0:42 - totally making an erection joke.

[liwu73]

who pays it???

[tripios]

unuseless bridge

[ceddimo]

amazing!

[DestinyxMusic]

Thomas Heatherwick is an amazing man to have come up with the desgins he does, he's my idol!

This is one of my favourite pieces that he's made including the B of the Bang in Manchester that is simply amazing.

This man is a pure genius!

[bakerloobadboy]

does it ever unroll?

[EliteXtasy]

:-O

IT'S ALIVE!!!

[oLenbeergin]

bby

im lonely nS

[studdingsails]

Love the bridge and fixed camera (so tempting to zoom in). Well done sir.

[norxcontacts]

Too small, too slow.

[dontuni]

it takes to fu c k i n g  long

[theRealCatinahat]

health and safety probably wouldn't allow anything faster, unless it was painted yellow, with flashing lights and a siren

[chunkymonkeyczu2]

Patience is a virtue :P

[KilPenguin]

What song was used in the video? It was really cool. The out-of-sync pianos were made an awesome effect.

[bargiepat]

Hi, The group is called Calexico and the tune is ' The Book and the Canal.....'

[Kerussk]

Reminds me quite a bit of some of Philip Glass' works, which is a good thing in my book.

[LyricalWax]

wow, I really need to see this, had no idea this was in London.

[CoasterCloud]

I like it, but what's the point? Art?

[katievicieuse]

what's the point of anyhting , coastercloud.

[CoasterCloud]

I think I see what you mean. The point is intriguing fun!!

[katievicieuse]

Egg-sactly.

[alanheath]

@katievicieuse Quite! What is the point of living?

[IndyLives]

there is not anything about paddington?

[bargiepat]

Hi, The video is just of the bridge...... Paddington is where it is located. Regards Patrick.

[sharkitect007]

hmmm and needs 3 people to operate...

the bridge to no where:) you can walk around it in 10metres.....

[luno44]

When is a bridge not a bridge? When it's an octogon.

[MGX890]

LOL

[surebuilds]

Great Bridge And Great video

[gocrawford]

I love the way you timed the music perfectly to match the end of the 'curl'. Lovely video.

[jameschristiancarrol]

Does the bridge really do that?

Beautiful

[radiofriendly]

[bargiepat]

Wowie Zowie. That's really neat Dada, especially when you wip the slide along. A feat of engineering. Lovely sound too. Thanks for this. Keep them coming! Love you.....

[bargiepat]
