Oh wow. That pedestrian bridge reminds me off all of the 'green bridges' that they are building for animals to cross safely over highways.

I'm a Frank Lloyd Wright fan, or a fan of the arts and crafts movement. but there are a few modern structures and styles that get my attention. Anything 'green' as in eco-aware or attempting to blend in with the natural world tends to get my interest.

I'm also a fan of minimalist Art Deco.... I think the minimalist theme is what does it for me most.
