Sunken Pedestrian Bridge in the Netherlands Parts Moat Waters Like Moses! RO & AD Moses Bridge – Inhabitat - Green Design Will Save the World. The Accoya wood is also treated with a nontoxic coating, protecting it from fungal decay and increasing its durability- making it an ideal sustainable material for the sunken bridge.

Sunken Pedestrian Bridge in the Netherlands Parts Moat Waters Like Moses! RO & AD Moses Bridge – Inhabitat - Green Design Will Save the World

Like a dam, the walls of the bridge hold the waters of the moat back, and like Moses, the bridge parts the seas so that pedestrians may pass. A series of moats and fortresses were built over the West Brabant Water Line region of the Netherlands during the 17th century in order to provide protection from invasion by France and Spain. Fort de Roovere was surrounded with a shallow moat that was too deep to march across, and too shallow for boats. In turn the earthen fort had remained protected –until now. From afar, the Moses Bridge is invisible to the eye.

First lying flush with the earth, the bridge then descends deeper into the ground. The Moses Bridge gives visitors a unique opportunity to pass through parted waters, to eventually meet a historic fortress of defense. See-through church, Limburg/Belgium by Gijs Van Vaerenbergh.

Z-OUT is an ambitious longterm art in public space project that will be realised on different locations in the Flemish region of Limburg over the next five years. photo by Kristof Vrancken The church is 10 meters high and is made of 100 layers and 2000 columns of steel. The design of the church is based on the architecture of the multitude of churches in the region, but through the use of horizontal plates, the concept of the traditional church is transformed into a transparent object of art. photo by Mine Dalemans.

30+ High Quality HDR Architecture Wallpapers. HDR technology is not a new concept; it is based on the theory of the eyes’ ability to see high range of light degrees and depth.

30+ High Quality HDR Architecture Wallpapers

The improved computer render technology and photography supports this concept with the ability to produce images with High Dynamic Range of depth or contrast. Before enjoying our today’s amazing HDR wallpapers, let understand a little what is the HDR images and brief about the HDR technology. The human eye has a very high range of sense to images’ light perspective and depth. This range varies from seeing image details in the star light at night or in bright sun light, this is what is known as the human eye dynamic range. The HDR (High Dynamic Range) images use this concept to provide images experience that includes high depth and contrast between the image elements to give it more artistic effect.

The camera shots are known as Low Dynamic Range images as it does not provide that wide range of light and contrast. The Towers of Angkor Thom Munich MarienPlatz. Architecture & Design. Magic Box - Photo - email-junk.com.
