	Puente del Alamillo - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Alamillo Bridge in Seville, Spain spans the Guadalquivir River and was completed in 1992 by Santiago Calatrava.
		The bridge is of the cantilever spar cable-stayed bridge type and consists of a single pylon, counterbalancing a 200 m span with thirteen lengths of cables.
		The original intent was to build two symmetrical bridges on either side of the island, but in the end, the Alamillo's singular design has proved most striking.

		The enormous scale of this bridge is apparent when one considers the scale of the model: Given the space available for the model, it was only possible to demonstrate in any detail a single pylon with the third segment being constructed.
		The Alamillo bridge is a memorable landmark of the EXPO '92 world exhibition in Sevilla, Spain.
		One of these bridges is the Akashi Kaikyo bridge, a suspension bridge that boasts a span of 1,990 metres and thus is the widest suspension bridge in the world around the turn of the millennium.

		The dramatic Alamillo Bridge, commissioned for the 1992 World’s Fair in Seville, Spain, drew international attention to Calatrava and to the structural possibilities offered by bridge design.
		The roadway of the bridge cantilevers from a single angled pylon, which supports the weight of the roadway and the traffic on it.
		The soaring Milwaukee pavilion is shaded by a movable sunscreen that resembles a sail or bird’s wings.

		Built for the 1992 Universal Exposition in Seville, Spain, the bridge immediately received great international attention that continues to this day.Santiago Calatrava received a direct commission to design the bridge and seized the opportunity to create a design breakthrough--a stunning, harp-shaped bridge that defies both gravity and traditional bridge design.

	Alamillo Bridge
		Originally proposed as twin bridges with a connecting viaduct, this design was to cross the Guadalquivir River in two locations, approximately 1 mile (1.5 kilometers) apart from each other.
		Because of the the curves of the river, the bridges would have been situated in such a way that their tall inclined masts would have reached toward each other, forming an implied triangle that had it's apex far above the earth.
		The impetus for the project was the 1992 World Fair, "Expo '92." The 1640 foot (500m) viaduct is an entrance gateway to the northern entrance of the Expo.

	Making the Modern World - Is the future of bridges all suspended?
		Recent talk of a road bridge between Europe and Africa, spanning the Straits of Gibraltar, has centred on a slightly different type of suspension bridge from the purely ‘hanging’ form we have discussed so far.
		In the cable stay version of the suspension bridge, the deck is hung from diagonal cables that exert a force towards the towers as well as vertically.
		In some ways, it is the cable-stayed bridge that represents the state-of-the-art in bridge-building at the beginning of the twenty-first century, but, with technology giving us lighter and stiffer materials to build with, there are already all-plastic bridges.

	TIME Fast Forward: The Fine Art of Science
		An example of these new possibilities is Calatrava's Alamillo Bridge, one of many crossing the Guadalquivir River in the southern Spanish city of Seville.
		Today, the raked pylon both holds the bridge and gives those who walk or drive across it the chance to discuss whether it brings to mind, as some Seville citizens say, a giant erection, or, as Calatrava himself thinks, more a harp or a bird.
		Like much of Calatrava's work, the Alamillo Bridge can be traced to a sculpture, in this case a work he called Running Torso, a stack of marble cubes balanced by a taut wire.

		His asymmetrical, cable-stayed Alamillo Bridge in Seville hacks traditional suspension design with its dramatic, tipping mast.
		Calatrava is well established in Europe, where he has designed more than 60 bridges, 7 train stations, and 2 airports.
		Cable-stayed bridges have become Calatrava's signature, though he's also designed trussed and buttressed structures, a hybrid pylon-suspension crossing, and even - in a literal spin on the conventional drawbridge - a rotating suspension bridge.

		Poised against the sky like fantastic giant birds, the bridges and buildings of Santiago Calatrava possess a breathtaking grace and rhythm.
		At the same time--as the author of a doctoral thesis about how to design frame structures that can open and close--he has invented new systems that combine efficiency and stability with the elegance of a brilliant mathematical solution.
		Tzonis writes that the concept was "a personal manifesto of what architecture could be: innovative, optimistic, rational, and playful." Conceived a mere eight years later, the Alamillo Bridge in Seville became an instant landmark.
