Thomas Heatherwick plans to suspend ‘1000 tonnes of garden’ over the River Thames in London, in his ambitious £150 million bridge proposal.
Plans were initially mooted in June this year to create a garden-like pedestrian bridge linking Temple and the Southbank, designed by Heatherwick in conjunction with engineering company Arup.
The bridge looks to form a major new green space for the capital using shrubs, trees, plants, benches and ‘intimate walkways’, according to the Garden Bridge Trust, which will oversee the creation of the bridge.
