Snaking it's way over Columbus Drive the stainless steel leviathan that is the BP Pedestrian Bridge was designed by architect Frank Gehry [link]. The bridge opened in 2004. Somewhat reminiscent of the Webb Bridge in Melbourne designed by Denton Corker Marshall only the sides have far more potential, as a sweet slippery dip.
The story goes that Frank Lloyd Wright upon entering a Las Vegas style casino for the first time, remarked on the architecture with those same words. Maybe it's more myth, than any amount of truth. I hope my photographs give you that same feeling of disorientation and bemusement. The plan is to abstract the crap out of architecture I like and throw in non-academic, pop culture infused musings whilst I'm at it.
