Lloyd Alter on Treehugger.com may be letting his architecture background get away from him on this one:
Changsha, the capital of Hunan Province, is a booming place. It has its charms, including beautiful rivers and lakes. Development is happening everywhere, including the Meixi Lake District to the west of town. Now NEXT architects have built the Lucky Knot, a beautiful new pedestrian bridge over the Dragon King Harbour River (and a highway) in the Meixi district.
To my eye, this is gaudy. I suspect that Lloyd is marveling at something in its architecture or engineering, rather than asking, Is this beautiful? Follow the link to NEXT, above, to see more pictures.
