Building Bridges

In the week prior to the bridge appearing in town, local people came together for a host of bridge-building activity. Community groups, schools, businesses and individuals were invited to build their own bridges using one of our Bridge Kits.

Imagineer's Bridge Kit was inspired by Leonardo da Vinci’s design for a self-supporting bridge. It could be built by anyone of any age and experience in less than two hours. The bridge kits provided the inspiration for our next project, ImagineBamboo.

A group of 9 people stand in front of a bridge they have made using wooden poles, called a Da Vinci mathematical bridge. It it self-supporting, and uses no nails or screws to stay up.
