Bridges shape the face of our landscapes and cities. They are an important part of the built environment. Arched bridges, chain bridges, suspension bridges, monkey bridges, cable-stayed bridges or body bridges – in the Architekturzentrum Wien you can learn more about the construction and history of this important engineering structure. In the framework of the workshop we take a playful look at different kinds of bridge structures. Compression and tension forces are explained with the help of structural exercises. Afterwards we build either a model or a bridge in 1:1 scale, the load-bearing capacity of which we also test immediately.
