ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT: Four signature urban bridges designed by Arenas & Associates have been built in the last years in the Spanish cities of Madrid, Logroño, Santander and Zaragoza. Every design has special architectural and urban values and all of them were developed searching for new structural and aesthetical solutions to solve each different kind of crossing. The four designs, striking and elegant, constitute iconic gates to the cities where they are located. Our experience as authors of the conceptual and detailed design and construction managers of the four bridges is summarized in this article on these challenging structures.
