MAGNIFICATION...

THE CABLES+SUPPORT

DETAIL OF THE CABLE - Looking at this in further depth you can see a more intricate pattern of the cable, which appears to be made up of smaller sized cables, intertwined together forming a solid stable support.

DETAIL OF THE HYDRAULIC OPENING

WHERE IT JOINS THE WATERFRONT- This connection between the surface of the floor with the elevated platform of the bridge creates a superficial link of the ground and its support. The sides of the bridge seem to 'rest' on the pavement, passively and as if its 'one' continuous structure.

FEELING

RUSTING OF THE PAINTWORK- At first the feeling and touch of the steel platform seemed like rubber. However, upon further inspection it was metal, which could also be identified by the rusting paintwork on the edges. 

DECEIVING MATERIALS- Both the  rails and the pontoon supports are made out of the same material. From a distance, the colour feature creates a fluid shape, which creates no distinction between the two. However, when one focuses closely and experiences the material, you can see that they are quite different, in shape, texture as well as the properties.
