The Bridge Pavilion.

June 14, 2008

The Bridge Pavilion (Spanish: Pabellón Puente) is a building designed by architect Zaha Hadid that was constructed for the Expo 2008 in Zaragoza (Spain) as one of its main landmarks. It is an innovative 270-metre-long covered bridge that imitates a gladiola over the river Ebro, connecting the neighbourhood of La Almozara with the exposition site, and thus becoming its main entrance. The new bridge is, at the same time, a multi-level exhibition area; 10.000 visitors per hour are expected to frequent the Pavilion of the world exhibition.
The star architect Zaha Hadid chose glass fibre reinforced concrete from the Austrian company Rieder to envelope the bridge: she covered the outer skin of the building with 29.000 triangles in different grey shades out of [fibreC].

During the Expo 2008, the Bridge Pavilion will host an exposition called Water – a unique resource. When the Expo is over, the building is expected to be purchased by the savings bank Ibercaja and remodelled into a museum related to new technologies and water sciences.
