    unexpected way, as the framework for an undulating form that

    culture.

    Lens Bridge

    Designer Nikolay Tsochev envisions the Lens Bridge for the River

    Lea in London, linking the five boroughs together with a structure

    thats a recreation space as well as a functional crossing. While its

    design is quite striking, it isnt meant to be seen from afar; its dug into

    the earth and enveloped by trees to make it feel like a secret part of

    the park.
