Kingston architecture students recreate 17th century Japanese bridge
Students from Kingston University’s Architecture Studio 3.2 built a wooden bridge, based on the 17th century Japanese Kintaikyo design. The idea to create the reconstruction was that of lecturer Takeshi Hayatsu, who with lecturer Tim Gough devised this typical example of learning through making.
The bridge, built from sustainable sources, will be on display at the Ecobuild sustainability fair next month. It has also been featured on bdonline.co.uk, the online version of Building Design magazine: http://www.bdonline.co.uk/news/kingston-students-recreate-japanese-bridge/5031848.article (registration required to view).
