Circle Bridge
Five circles pedestrian bridge
Circle Bridge (Cirkelbroen) is a pedestrian bridge in Copenhagen, Denmark. It crosses Christianshavns Kanal and connects the district with Applebys Plads. It was designed by Olafur Eliasson and opened on August 22, 2015.
Description
The bridge consists of five round decks with masts of different heights. The masts are held up by 118 metal cables, giving the bridge a resemblance to a series of sailing yachts. The form highlights the reverse slope of the bridge's rails, which are made of wood from the Brazilian guariuba tree (Clarisia racemosa).
