How cool is this?! a bridge suspended by 3 balloons! This bridge created by French artist Olivier Grossetête, called the ‘Pont de Singe’or ‘Monkey Bridge’ is, in fact, strong enough to hold one small person.

Although not trained as an architect, Grossetête is best known for creating miniature bridges and towers from cardboard, and says he is fascinated by the physical sciences. With the help of his parents – both scientists – he made the calculations for the suspended bridge.

However, he doesn’t recommend wading in and trying to climb on. Passage across this fantastical bridge is dangerous, especially in high winds, and the structure is placed in the centre of the water to prevent sharp objects from threatening the balloons.

Of course, the bridge is more about the allure of possibility than the physics of lift and drag. ‘I think our imagination takes us far – that little frustration and not being able to climb above can be largely enhanced by contemplation,’ Grossetête says.

We were invited by Monument magazine to team up with artist Merryn Trevethan to create a "water feature" in the Create-a-Date section, and we can report that it really wasn't an easy task! You can find out the result in the latest issue of the mag (Issue 108 Apr/May 2012), we call it "Distilling Memories" Anyway Merryn is great, what a colourful personel (literally), and we love her works! and thanks to the new editor of Monument Susan Muldowney for inviting us along for this fun but mind exhausting excercise!
