ザハ・ハディド・アーキテクツが設計した、中国・成都市の、橋「Jiangxi River Bridge」です。
自動車・自転車・歩行者の為の橋の計画です。全長約300mを高さ約30mのアーチで支える構造で、形状は“彫刻的なランドマーク”としても機能します。また、構造解析で200年に1度の気象現象にも耐えうる強度も担保されました。

Set inside a simple 3.3.m x 10m white box with no windows and only one rectangular door, creating LoveHouse fulfilled architect Takeshi Hosaka’s dream to live in a house that feels like you are living outside. Entering the home, you’re greeted by a curved courtyard and outdoor staircase leading to the second floor of the house. The top, often used as a place to sit, read and drink coffee, leads into the main living space past a Griffiths Ash Tree and through a series of wooden framed glass pocket doors. The main living area is kept simple, with minimal furniture and only a candle for light. The adjoining kitchen accommodates a 2.7m counter, 3 burner gas stove, an integrated fridge and dishwasher neatly squeezed into a small space between the counter and the wall. The first floor, once the bedroom, is now used as a relaxation space, and also contains the toilet and bathroom. The home’s thoughtful design and indoor/outdoor lifestyle connect daily life with nature in a way seldom seen in cities.
