London Has A New Bridge,

in Paddington,


 taking it's cue from the way a Japanese hand fan folds open,

 the pedestrian bridge elegantly solves the problem of supplying a footbridge over the 20-meter width of the Grand Union Canal, 


Knight Architects have completed the bridge in London that is both simple and spectacular in collaboration with structural engineers AKT II

the bridge experts installed 5 steel beams that open and close in sequence, rising to different angles using hydraulic jacks and assisted by counterweights, could this be architectural poetry in motion?
