WHAT_architecture in association with Beaver Bridges present the RECYCLED HYBRIDGE©
The RECYCLED HYBRIDGE© utilises the nation's existing stock of off-the-shelf bridges and recycles them into a composite hybridised bridge.
The RECYCLED HYBRIDGE© is greater than the sum of its parts and offers the following advantages over conventional bridges:
-large spans of 60m+
-recycling means lower carbon footprint
-inexpensive (in bridge economics cost has an exponential relationship to span)
-fast turn around
-'hybridge' aesthetic means this bridge looks different from the homogenous image ordinarily associated with bridge design
