Of all of the bridges that span the Brisbane River, this is possibly the most controversial. The Kurilpa Bridge is a pedestrian and cycle bridge which cost A$63 million and it seems that either you like it or you don't. Personally I think it is a hideous jumble of metal and cables, and a ridiculous waste of money. It is the world's largest tensegrity bridge. This means that it produces a synergy between balanced tension and compression components to create a light structure that is incredibly strong.
Come back again for a closer look.

Ah, but see it from inside GoMA at an 'Up Late" i.e. at night, and you will change your mind :-)
Terrific light.
I quite liked it until you said $63 mill. And it doesn't even take cars?
You could do some pretty wicked yarn bombing on that sucker. Hmmm....
Inner Artist: I still don't get it, in any light! But that is the joy and beauty of art that makes us all different.
Jim: Thanks...light on water is always good, and this was late afternoon.
Kirsty: Expensive walking, huh?
That is a lot of money.
