	Guggenheim Museum Bilbao - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Guggenheim museum in Bilbao, Spain, which is made of glass, titanium, and limestone.
		It is built alongside the Nervion River, which runs through the city of Bilbao to the Atlantic Coast.
		Also important is that while the museum is a spectacular monument from the river, on street level it is quite modest and does not overwhelm its traditional surroundings.

	Guggenheim Museum
		This is an inspired response to the differences in height between the level of the river and the level of the city center.
		The canopy serves a function (better appreciated perhaps from the other bank of the river, which offers observers an excellent view of the entire rear façade of the Museum) that is both protective and aesthetic at one and the same time.
		The broad flight of stairs that goes up to the sculptural tower, conceived as a device to absorb and integrate the Puente de La Salve into the overall architectural scheme of the building, is also a public access way that connects pedestrians with the rest of the city.

	Welcome to Bizkaia Maitea
		The Nervión River becomes a ría on its passage through Bilbao and this forms the true backbone of the city.
		The river divides Bilbao in two; on the right bank is the Old Quarter and on the left the Extension.
		It is hardly surprising that the Bilbao river estuary is known as the "High Street of Biscay".

	Welcome to Bizkaia Maitea
		At that time Bilbao was a small iron-working and maritime settlement situated on the left bank of the River Nervión on the lower slopes of Mount Miravilla.
		In the 19th century, with the annexation of the neighbouring township of Abando, the city began to spread away from the river banks and there was a considerable increase in its population, while at the same time the foundations were laid for a modern city with wide streets, avenues, squares, promenades and parks.
		Geographical limitations - the city is surrounded by mountains - have meant that successive increases in population have had to be absorbed by the adjoining towns along the River Nervión, to form a large metropolis with a population of 900,000.

		The basins of the rivers Oiartzun, Artibai, Deba, Bidasoa, Urumea, Uroa, Oria, Oka, Barbadun, Butron, Lea, Urola and Nervion are polluted, according to a report of the regional government of Baskongadak's Environment Department released this week.
		The land area drained by rivers and its tributaries, known as a river basin, is the basic unit for understanding the sources and effects of freshwater pollution as well as the ecological relationships between terrestial and aquatic systems.
		Eventually, some of the water may enter tributary streams and rivers, into which a third source of pollution, sewage and industrial wastewater, is discharged directly.

	Bilbao Spain -- Recommendations and Resources
		A major seaport and industrial centre, it is located on the river Nervión, and its suburbs extend to the Bay of Biscay.
		This is matter of confussion because both rivers the Nervión (Basque "Nerbioi") and Ibaizabal meet shortly before entering the city and reaching the stuary (precisely in Bilbao).
		The Ibaizabal is a longer river and therefore, according to all geographic criteria should be considered (and actually is considered offcially) the river that reaches Bilbao but centuries of Spanish (Castilian) influence have made the Nervión much more known, because its course was approximately that of the roads that went into Castile.

		To the north, the museum itself resembles an elongated ship sailing slowly under the bridge crossing the Nervion River.
		A smoke-wreathed concrete ramp follows the building to the north, parallel to the river.

		As Bilbao emerges from the mantle of debris accumulated during the last tide of history, the city of 360,000 people has never been as remote from and yet as close to that small town of 18,000 souls that she was only 150 years ago.
		That bridge of San Antón was the first Promethean attempt to arch worlds apart: land and shore, river and sea, interior and exterior, past and future, left and right.

		It was also during the 19th century that Bilbao produced one of its most famous sons - the celebrated writer and philosopher Miguel de Unamano who became rector of the University of Salamanca.

	Arenas y Asociados: Competition of Footbridge over the Nervion river, Bilbao
		As a response to the contest by invitation, this pedestrian bridge was conceived to offer the passers-by the possibility of crossing the Nervión river fully protected from rain and wind.
		This was achieved with a composite steel and concrete spatial truss beam whose triangular cross-section guaranteed the non-deformability of its shape, and whose roof made of reinforced concrete and covered with a thin cooper plate, in combination with the glasses of the lateral facades, created the desired protection against rain and wind.
		The very quality of the materials, copper, glass and steel gave the human dimension to this public work that was conceived as an extension of the city buildings over the river.

		It is steps from the promenade along the Nervion River, steps from the tram system and within a short walking distance to the museums, the concert hall and -- not least -- a vibrant bar-hopping scene.
		It can be approached by dramatic sculptural ramps on both sides of the river as well as by ordinary stairs.
