Energized by the sun bouncing off water,
this 100m long operable bridge gracefully curls open letting sea-craft in and out of Auckland's Viaduct Harbour.
Green technology layers spectacular kinetics over utility:-strong, silent pneumatic ballons fold leaves into infinite sculptural forms when inflated by solar powered generator-each triangular segment provides 65 sm of solar paneling -pretensioned concrete and solar glazing are enduringly beautiful and strong-simple fanning angles allow fixed guardrails to clear when folding-alluding to the wings of the albatross, this curling offers viewers a spectacular event.
