The king of Spain went to visit the bridge and said something along these lines "if you cant see the water, what's the point of having a bridge?"
Totally agree, the most beautiful part about crossing its not getting there but the joy of the walk instead.

I’d also add that these dynamic photos make the structure look way may more refined than the building really is, at least from the exterior. The interior was closed off.

I just got back from Spain where I had a chance to take a look at this bridge… it is quite sad just sitting there not being used. Seems Zaragoza hasn’t quite figured out how to take advantage of the Expo sites quite yet. If they don’t figure it out soon, it is going to degrade too far.

The Digital Water Pavillion is going in the same direction.

I had the chance to visit Zaragoza during the Expo. The city is great! its people are great! and this bridge is great! it is going to become one of the main symbols of the new city! Visit Zaragoza, it is worth it!

I think some people should be aware that things like this are not what architecture is about. And i like most of Zaha’s work, it’s impresive, but as an architecture is cheap, as an art is pretencious (and this is not always a negative point) and irrelevant, and as technology is a waste of everything… irresponsible IMO.

Most of people like this, but many people like “American Ido” or “big brother”, for example, and still, it is a fucking shit… sadly, our “culture” is driven by this and at the end nothing mathers anymore.

It can be nice to debate around this kind of construction, but many people dont seem to understand why this architecture doesn’t acomplish anything…………………… CHEAP!

PD: IS funny to read those people who seems to be very well documented and then talk so loud… if that was the case then u wouldnt consider this original nor modern, and dont commit the mistake to belive everything u read on the books.
