1997 – Zubizuri Bridge, Bilbao, Spain
Architect: Santiago Calatrava
As with most of Calatrava’s works, the main materials are concrete and white steel, hence the name Zubizuri Bridge or White Bridge. It spans the Nervion river in a delicate curvy equilibrium. The bridge features a glass walkway – a device used again in his James Joyce Bridge in Dublin
