Structure: Hovenring, Circular Cycle Bridge
Location: Eindhoven, Netherlands
Architect: ipv Delft
Completed: 2012
Engineers: ipv Delft, Eindhoven University of Technology*, Delft University of Technology*

AE Interest: first suspended bicycle roundabout; concrete structure rather than steel; supported from beneath by columns and from above by steel cables attached to a central steel column; *engineering professors at local universities were asked to research a cable vibration problem, and they found that the wind was creating vortexes around the cables—fixed problem by applying additional dampers at cable connections

Structure: Point Resolution Pedestrian Bridge
Location: Auckland, New Zealand
Architect: Warren & Mahoney
Completed: 2013
Structural Engineer: Peters & Cheung
Contractor: Hawkins Infrastructure
Concrete Etching Artist: Henriata Nicholas

AE Interest: Supporting steel columns split fluidly into branches to create archways along the bridgeway, bridge design had to be modeled using Rhinoceros with parametric plug-in (Grasshopper) due to complex geometry of steel structure, concrete deck has artist-designed etchings
