Designed by architectural firm Kengo Kumo and Associates in 2010, the structure connects two buildings otherwise separated by a road, and also houses artist-in-resident programs and workshops.</p><br/><p>But never ever thoughts all that. It’s the stunningly photogenic application of wood that tends to make the bridge noteworthy. The architects devised an interlocking technique of wooden beams, arranged in a symmetrical, decorative pattern, with which to create the cantilevered edifice—a device that, in addition to becoming visually expressive, has an ecological payoff. Say the architects, “It is a wonderful example of sustainable design, as you can obtain a large cantilever even with out big-sized components.”</p><br/><p><br/><img alt="copy A Japanese Bridge, Both Expressive And Sustainable amazing ideas " height="400" src="http://www.decoradvisor.net/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/copy.jpg" title="A Japanese Bridge, Both Expressive And Sustainable amazing ideas " width="600" /><br/><img alt="copy A Japanese Bridge, Both Expressive And Sustainable amazing ideas " height="400" src="http://www.decoradvisor.net/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/copy_.jpg" title="A Japanese Bridge, Both Expressive And Sustainable amazing ideas " width="600" /><br/><img alt="ywbm for web A Japanese Bridge, Both Expressive And Sustainable amazing ideas " height="400" src="http://www.decoradvisor.net/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/ywbm-for-web.jpg" title="A Japanese Bridge, Both Expressive And Sustainable amazing ideas " width="600" /><br/><img alt="ywbm for web A Japanese Bridge, Both Expressive And Sustainable amazing ideas " height="542" src="http://www.decoradvisor.net/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/ywbm-for-web_.jpg" title="A Japanese Bridge, Both Expressive And Sustainable amazing ideas " width="600" /></p><br/><p>Pictures: Kengo Kuma and Associates</p><br/><p><!-- Social Buttons Generated by Digg Digg plugin v5.3.6,<br/> Author : Buffer, Inc<br/> Website : http://bufferapp.com/diggdigg --><br/>
