Description

Peace Bridge in Alberta

“The Peace Bridge is very different from all of the other bridges that Mr. Calatrava has designed. In a departure from the soaring vertical icons that he’s known for, Mr. Calatrava opted for a low single-span bridge, eliminating the need for support and cables and therefore meeting the city’s environmental protection laws pertaining to the Bow River. And in keeping with the surrounding natural beauty and nature-inspired theme, Mr. Calatrava painted The Peace Bridge a vibrant shade of red to celebrate Calgary’s changing seasons. “Canadian Red” as Mr. Calatrava calls it; a color which contrasts with the city’s white winters and complements the autumn leaves. The end result will be an awe-inspiring horizontal landmark that pays homage to both the people of Calgary and their environment.”
