BALDRICK’S GREEN-ROOFED BRIDGE

JULY 13th, 2010

We mentioned Copenhagen recently on this blog, as they have laudably decreed that all new buildings built in the city will have to have green roofs. Now retired architect William Baldrick wants to go one better and design a green canopy for the new Columbia River Crossing bridge being built between Portland, Oregon and Vancouver, Washington. As well as mitigating the bridges carbon footprint, the canopy will also create a pleasant park for local residents and will serve as an attraction for tourists (hopefully tourists travelling by foot!)
