Couldn’t agree more!!!

it is a bridge in a harbour, crossing a canal. it is “based on maritime life”…it has masts! that is so deep.

and they also look a bit like christmas trees. or swedish may pole decorations. oh, you know, the layers of meaning in this thing, they are overwhelming.

and it’s round because that makes people stop and hang out. no really, that is the way you do it. no really. that is how you make successfull urban spaces.

and bridges crossing a canal, you should always place them right at the end of the canal, right on the corner, because that way you can’t see the canal from the harbour anymore – and you’ll forget about it and stop worrying about what the right solution would have been.

if there had been an architectural competition for this bridge, eliasson’s proposal would never have seen the light of day, it would never have made it past the first round of the jury’s work. but you can’t censor artists even if they are begging for it.

I am not sure if this looks more like something a grown artist took two minutes to think about or a twelve year old girl spent a whole day dreaming up. it is painful either way. central copenhagen should be too important to us for sloppy work like this.

no wait, I have changed my mind.

I wasn’t at a loss for words.
