    Architecture: A Suspension Bridge Built to Be a Musical Instrument

    Well, it's not built to be an instrument but actually to resemble one. It's still an incredibly beautiful pedestrian bridge.

    Quoted: As we understand more and more about the materials to build suspension bridges, their shapes are going to become more bizarre and seemingly impossible. Architect Santiago Calatrava made this suspension bridge in Jerusalem to resemble the shape of a lyre, a stringed instrument popular during classical antiquity.
