Alamillo Bridge, Sevilla, Spain by jmhdezhdez
Others related images: 1.987 – 1.992 ENGLISH Client: Junta de Andalucía / Architect: Santiago Calatrava / Type: Bowstring / Span: 656 ft / Use: Mixed Local Authorities ordered from Sevilla Santiago Calatrava bridge to provide access to Cartuja island where the Universal Exhibition held in Seville in 1992. In its original form two bridges planned Calatrava symmetrical and opposed to each side of the Cartuja island to provide access to the important exhibition. Subsequently, due to excessive cuts in the budget, the client chose to perform a single bridge over a viaduct of 500 meters in total length. The Alamillo Bridge finally stood on the east side of Round Ring, meander through the San Jeronimo, a tributary of the Guadalquivir river. Highlights of this work is undoubtedly the spectacular cable-stayed pylon height of 142 meters final with the help of 13 pairs of wires that are anchored to the bottom of the deck and through its own weight, get long sustain board 200 meters in total length. This enormous basin, which contains within itself a staircase than one viewpoint at the summit which is called “the eye of the horse’s head” and from which you can see a panoramic view of the entire city of Seville has an inclination of 58 degrees resembles one of the pyramids of Egypt, Cheops. It would give the board a mixed use which was distributed in three lanes for each direction of traffic on both sides and a walkway for pedestrians and bicycles higher in the center. Inspiration Calatrava imagined prior to the completion of this majestic bridge was triggered by a previous sculpture designed by the architect himself called “Torso in motion.” ESPAÑOL Cliente: Junta de Andalucía / Arquitecto: Santiago Calatrava / Tipo: Atirantado / Vano: 200 metros / Uso: Mixto Las Autoridades Locales de Sevilla encargaban a Santiago Calatrava un puente para dar acceso a la isla de la Cartuja donde se celebraría la Exposición Universal de Sevilla en el año 1.992. En su primer diseño Calatrava había previsto dos puentes simétricos y opuestos a cada lado de la isla de la Cartuja para dar acceso a la importante Exposición. Posteriormente, debido a recortes excesivos en el presupuesto, el cliente prefirió realizar un solo puente más un viaducto de 500 metros de longitud total. El Puente del Alamillo se situó finalmente en el lado este de la Ronda de Circunvalación, atravesando el meandro de San Jerónimo, un afluente del río Guadalquivir. Lo más destacado de esta obra es sin lugar a dudas el espectacular pilón atirantado de 142 metros de altura final que con la ayuda de 13 pares de cables que se anclan a la parte inferior de la cubierta y mediante su propio peso, consiguen sustentar el largo tablero de 200 metros de longitud total. Este enorme pilón, que contiene en su interior una escalera de acceso superior a un mirador situado en la cúspide al que se le conoce como “El ojo de la cabeza de caballo” y desde el que se divisa una vista panorámica de toda la ciudad de Sevilla, dispone de una inclinación de 58 grados similar a una de las pirámides de Egipto, Keops. Se le daría un uso mixto al tablero que se distribuyó en tres carriles para cada sentido de tráfico rodado a ambos lados y una pasarela para peatones y bicicletas más elevada en el centro. La inspiración previa que imaginó Calatrava para la realización de este majestuoso puente vino motivada por una escultura previa diseñada por el propio arquitecto llamada “Torso en movimiento”. © José Miguel Hernández Hernández
