Inca jewellery and Peruvian minery-inspired bridge in development by OOIIO Architecture Designed by Madrid-based practice OOIIO Architecture, the Miraflores-Barranco Pedestrian Bridge is destined to draw strong ties between these two thriving districts in Lima, Peru. Conceptualised as a new landmark for the city, the bridge is currently in design development with an expected completion date of 2016. For OOIIO Architecture this is more than a basic bridge scheme; it is an ‘open-air building’. The design has been inspired by Peruvian minery, ‘Latin Special Day Objects’ such as piñatas, and spiked Inca jewellery. The result is a barbed wooden connection with triangular fronds reaching high into the air.
