Guest guest Posted December 13, 2001 Report Share Posted December 13, 2001 This is so cool, building Leonardo's bridge 500 years later, and when you see the beauty of how his design looks... well,it's still a wonderful world. Glo PS The slide show at the bottom is worth a look too,see the last picture in it. The Norwegian Leonardo Project -- In 1502 Leonardo da Vinci did a simple drawing of a graceful bridge with a huge span of 240 meters. It was a design commissioned by Sultan Bajazet II to span the Golden Horn, an inlet at the mouth of the Bosporus River in what is the modern nation of Turkey. It was never built. When Vebjørn Sand saw the design in an exhibition on da Vinci's engineering genius in 1996, he was overwhelmed by the beauty of the design. http://www.vebjorn-sand.com/thebridge.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
