Rolling Bridge - Heatherswick

[EGI313]

cool

[vanhouten64]

I am afraid that bridges like this may become self-aware and take over the world from us humans.

[dfl4701]

4 SCORE AND 7 YEARS LATER, they crossed the bridge.

[AndyMacProGamer]

bridge needs to go a little faster people got shit to do and cross.

[lois9048]

The Japanese surrendered!!!

[hollismarshall]

what if u were running late to work and had to cross that slow ass bridge lol

i feel sorry for london workers that walk to their job

[jackjude]

@hollismarshall it's down 99% of the time, you dullard

[trigsim]

I think it would be cooler if it went one hydraulic at a time at a little bit of a faster speed to look like it was actually unrolling.

[Snorkiller666]

Exactement la même Misslbcc ^^' perso pour le viaduc j'habite juste à côté, cest vrai que c'est beau.

Sinon, le pont est vachement ingénieux je trouve.

[Misslbcc]

J'ai découvert le rolling bridge sur un science et vie junior mais sinon il est vraiment trés imprésionnant fantastique !!!!!

[Megahammerheadshark]

thats pretty cool

[jackysmiley92]

its cool but slow

[kennyvsspenny24]

Useless

[MoaBe5]

Too bad I didn't know about this when I actually was in London =(

[DaniloGentiliTube]

Genius :)

The idea, the target...the possibilities are great but, iread that the bridge had been removed... why? Bad Administration?

I'd be glad to work with such a mind like Heatherswik

[klkhf4]

Does anyone have any website that explains (in great detail, math, materials, etc...) the workings of this bridge?

[diaboliqueguan]

@klkhf4 This Rolling Bridge was designed by Heatherwicks Studio some years ago, I dont think any technicality is published. This Bridge served no purpose of usage, but displayed a futuristic and artistic idea and possibility of rolling in/out a bridge. For those of you who kept posting sarcastic and supposedly witty comments, you are only displaying how high your IQ is. Dont embarass yourself.

[crazygeek777]

@diaboliqueguan actually it was invented by Da vinci

[PatchworxStudios]

@klkhf4 It's a bit late for an answer. But maybe someone is still interesting to hear it. If you look closer you see hydraulik cylinders. They are pushing/pulling against the hand rails.

[Patta10]

I can swim it faster :)

[fazimis]

It is normally uncurled; curls up once a week, so relax, impatient people :D

[jstb0b]

noice

[dacimvrl]

more like garbage than art..

[PsychoPie9]

Impressive, but man in takes long to unfold!

[2009Dwight]

Yeah, a whole 2 minutes and 1 second lol

[MoilAndToil]

Quicker than swimming across, or walking across the water, in your case.

[zyzyphe]

it moves and looks like a caterpillar

[Lemonncloud]

Like watching paint dry...XD

[ixfxi]

it sure is quiet!

[kinosion]

and slow

[truehope567]

Cool! I wish there was a bridge like that here in the U.S. :D

[Fitzybabe65]

I could swim acros, get to the other side and dry myself off faster than that thing!! But it's pretty cool!!

[betaodm362]

O foda é vc tá passando e essa porra fecha!!

é uma cilada bino!!!!

[funmatsu]

ダンゴ虫みたい

[the8th7]

it looks like a centipede

[djdubblesuk]

blaze fm is next to der

[DaveBoxler]

more info please.

is this an art thing? Is it meant to be useful?

seems like I be tempted to try to run and jump across before waiting for that damn thing to unfold.

Does it require an operator on duty? or is that why it moves so slow?

anybody know?

[diaboliqueguan]

it is an art! useful? why not. nah, you cant run across, since it is manually operated. it moves slowly because it is mechanical. satisfied with the answers?

[DaveBoxler]

no.

but I found this video posted elsewhere, with as much explaination as I expect I will get.

[ShawtySnapp07]

@DaveBoxler it's art, AND u can use it - It's a bridge..a REAL bridge. :-D
