In order to connect the north and south side of London, the famous designer Thomas Heatherwick unveiled his amazing concept of a pedestrian bridge. The Garden Bridge as it is being called was selected by Transport for London as the new walkway traversing between Temple and South Bank, London. As the name suggests, it does remind one of the hanging gardens of Babylon; the only difference is that this can be called the hanging bridge of gardens!.Heatherwick is known for his iconic double Decker bus design and his splendid 200 piece cauldron at the London Olympic Games. Now he has come up with another magnificent idea for Thames Walkway Bridge
he says: “The idea is simple; to connect north and south London with a garden.”
The idea presents itself as a revolutionary one, opposed to many, as a bridge is supposedly a quick stream to cover ones displacement- they are to be as efficient as possible, however, the Garden Bridge adheres to encouraging you to meander around the rosy smells.
Joanna Lumley, a well-known British actress, has been a protagonist of
the above idea. “This garden will be sensational in every way,” she
said, “a place with no noise or traffic where the only sounds will be
birdsong and bees buzzing and the wind in the trees, and below the
steady rush of water…there will be blossom in the spring and even a
Christmas tree in mid-winter. I believe it will bring to Londoners and
visitors alike peace and beauty and magic.”.
This is Again a great Innovative thinking about the bridges where it is not only used for transportation but also for relaxing and relieving stress.It will also allow the public to have a great view of thames river and London...
