Description
Another version of the magnificent Bridge of Aspiration at the Royal Ballet school in Covent Garden - many many thanks to the kind staff who let me nose around and take pictures of it. This is a modern (very modernist) foot bridge between the Royal Ballet School and the Royal Opera House built by Wilkinson Eyre architects.Related content

3nd: that bridge looks so cool, but weird and unique.

It's what I thought, too. Very odd to have dancers skip past while I was taking the shot as well. The Royal Ballet School were really cool in letting me in to have a look. Cheers for your comment

Very very beautiful!! I really like the color and the ever changing angles and form. But I wonder what is the span and how does the structural work.

It's actually quite small and all it consists of are square wooden frames between glas that are angled increasingly as you go along (a quarter turn in all) but that still doesn't really capture how graceful and beautiful the bridge looks in the flesh. Cheers for your comment

The opera house is so lucky to have architecture like that.

I have many friends whom dance with the Royal Ballet School. When I saw this picture, I recognized it immediately.

My respect to your friends, dancing at the royal ballet takes a huge amount of skill and commitment, it almost makes the architecture look easy in comparison.

This is amazing, took me a few minutes to figure out if it was stairs or a flat surface bridge...! Awesome!
