a short presentation of Bridges Project

TEAM
The BRIDGES project consists in the construction and
the connection of eco-designed, manually built bridges, all autonomous, inhabitable and resilient.
The bridge has a symbolic role: it expresses the link
between the negotiators of COP21 and the civil society, and between different parts of the world having to
face global warming.
Each bridge is an artistic adaptation experience using
any on-site means available, as well as a laboratory of
ideas and a cooperative living space. Communication
systems such as videoconference equipment will be
installed between each bridge for real-time exchanges before and during COP21. Two initial bridges will
be simultaneously built in Paris, with the artist Laurent
Tixador, and Rio, with the artist collective Opavivará,
members of the project team.
