has some other interesting stuff, looks like he's pretty well known so securing funding must not have been a problem - wonder who funded it though.
- datene 3y agoIt's implied in this article (in Dutch) that the municipality of Spijkenisse funded it. At no more cost than building 'normal' bridges, as they had planned originally https://architectenweb.nl/nieuws/artikel.aspx?ID=26568 https://architectenweb.nl/nieuws/artikel.aspx?ID=26568

- yorwba 3y agoFrom the Bored Panda article: Stam got a letter of approval for his project from the European Central Bank and he even cinched the support of the Spijkenisse city council. They financed his project with 1.3 million dollars which was around a quarter more expensive than what a more simple set of bridges would have cost.
- bryanrasmussen 3y agothanks, missed that, although in my defense I find Bored Panda articles a chore to read, something about the design hurts my eyes.
