L?Assut de l?Or Bridge (Serrería Bridge), Valencia, Spain

Abstract

In this article we describe the design and construction of the bridge now known as Pont de l?Assut de l?Or, but during its construction as Puente de l Serreria. It?s a design from Santiago Calatrava, located in Ciudad de las Artes y las Ciencias, Valencia, Spain. As in other Works of the same author, original architectural design goes together with singular structural concepts: one single stayed span without back or side spans, a curved pylon stayed back only at its top.
