liverpool swimbridge
architect: reenie (karin) elliott
building type+location:
public lap-pool set into a new bridge spanning over a busy six lane roadway between two refurbished housing blocks, liverpool, england.
invisible elements:
1 - swimming in the glass bottomed pool at night over the red and white trails of car headlamps visible through the water, punctuated by green red and amber intermittent traffic signalling, lights, and the static orange globe lights of zebra crossings.
2 - argentine acrobatic swimmers test a prototype suspended swimming pool for the eurovision song contest in moscow, may 2009.
