Self-Supporting Bridges

Description: 

The images here show Da Vinci's bridge designs in some of Leonardo's original sketches  of the design and a permanent version of the design that is used as a foot bridge in Denmark. The permanent design is to give a better idea of what it might look like in actual use and to more clearly see the geometries used by Leonardo.
