Abstract

In spite of its diverse practice, London, England-based Wilkinson Eyre Architects has solidified its reputation internationally as a designer of spectacular bridges. Its Floral Street Bridge at Covent Garden is a fraction of the scale of its award-winning Gateshead Millennium Bridge spanning the Tyne River, but just as powerful. Because the bridge spans a mere 30 feet across an unassuming street in London's Covent Garden, one would assume that the program would call for a modest functional footbridge connecting the back sides of two buildings.
