icono Exhibition Bridge
 
Century:  XX (1995) Itinerary:  Pla del Real Address:
Style:  Contenporary
Category:    
    Calle del Justicia - Paseo de la Alameda
Architect:  Santiago Calatrava Under the bridge there is a subway station.

The Puente de la Exposicion –the white comblike work by Santiago Calatrava– spanning the riverbed between the ancient ashlars of the Puente del Real and the colourful splendour of the Puente de las Flores bridges. Together with the Puente de les Arts and the Puente del Regne, the Puente de la Exposición represents the height of modernity in the face of tradition.

With its sloped arch and four lanes of traffic, the Puente de la Exposicion is a faithful representation of what Calatrava strives for with all of his projects: a living work relating to each of its parts. He differentiates it from the cement bridge of the metro station that supports it, thereby transmitting forces in a natural way.
