Arup, Bridge Stories

  • Avril O'Neil

Early in my career one of the first projects I worked on with Kin was a commission from Arup and Onedotzero. We were asked to make a display table which presented the vast amount of bridges they had built over the years. The table was design with two moving platforms on the top. Maps showing the location of bridges were displayed on the moving platforms. When the platforms were pushed apart, a screen below revealed diagrammatic drawing of the bridge corresponding with the above location. The further the platforms were parted, the larger the bridge span shown on the screen. My main role was to produce over 100 bridge illustrations and the build of the exhibition.
