An elevation view of a model of a bridge possessing a sweeping gestural curved area that extends across the entire model with thick spirals at each end curling downward. An extension projects outward with two additional curved areas and a texture of ovals in a grid integrated in between.The model is fabricated from plastic and painted silver. A white scale model of a human stands on the walkway on the right of center and the front curve rises to the model’s hips, quite low. The person stands in front of a curved area that is not as long as the first one. This structure appears to be the other wall of the bridge.

Scale Model (1:20), MX3D Bridge

This is a Scale model (1:20).

This object is not part of the Cooper Hewitt's permanent collection. It was able to spend time at the museum on loan from MX3D as part of Joris Laarman Lab: Design in the Digital Age.

It is dated 2017. Its medium is 3d-printed plastic, silver paint.

This maquette is a scale representation of the bridge that is planned for Amsterdam. The Bridge's attenuated, swirling form will stand in contrast to the historical buildings surrounding the canal. The bridge illuminates not only the aesthetic freedom made possible by the remarkable MX3D process, but how this future technology connects with the city's past.
