Yahagigawa Bridge

2004년(平成16年) 전중상 작품 중 하나인 Yahagigawa Bridge(矢作川橋)를 부서 직원이 2005년 한일강교량 세미나에 참석 후 직접 찍어왔다.

참석한 직원 말에 의하면 이 교량이 갖는 의미를 일본에서는

1. 파형강판 복합 프리스트레스드 교량으로는 세계 최장 경간
2. 세계최초의 파형강판 복합 사장교
3. 케이블을 중앙으로 모은 사장교 중에 가장 광폭 교량

이라고 홍보를 한단다. 우리나라에서도 ‘국내(세계) 최초나 최고’를 즐겨 쓰는데… 이 놈들 영향인가 보다.

Construction of Nagisa Bridge

Nagisa Bridge, a single span footbridge, was recently completed in Aomori prefecture, Japan. The structure of this bridge is a hybrid structure of cable-stayed prestressed concrete bridge and steel suspension bridge. It is the first application as this structure type of bridge in the world.
Concrete girders near pylons are supported by stay cables. Steel girders are supported by suspension cables in the central part of the span. This is new type system for prestressed concrete bridges with longer span and has many structural features compared with ordinary cable-stayed bridge and suspension bridge.

Singing Bridges

교량에서 나오는 소리를 찾는 사람

“Singing bridges” is a sonic sculpture, playing the cables of stay-cabled and suspension bridges as musical instruments. To create this work I will amplify and record the sound of bridge cables around the world. Listening in to the secret voice of bridges as the inaudible vibrations in the cables are translated into sound.
