Santiago Calatrava's Lyrical Crossings.

This article reports that in the quintessential Dutch landscape of the Haarlemmermeer district, southwest of Amsterdam, Santiago Calatrava has designed three bridges over the Hoofdvaart Canal. Named for musical instruments — the Harp, Cittern, and Lute — each is a deftly sketched variation on a structural theme. In the changing environment of this rapidly developing area, the bridges will soon become urban landmarks. The bridges rise out of the flat landscape, dramatically piercing the Dutch sky. Cables and masts draw bold geometric forms in the air.
