Re-imagining the Hoover Dam
Re-imagining the Hoover Dam by Yheu-Shen Chua
The current public amenities of the world-famous Hoover Dam in the United States consist of a viewing platform, a bridge, and a gallery scattered around the entire site. This project aims to reconfigure these programs by merging them into a single vertical super structure.
One of the main purposes of the project is to allow the water from the upstream river to engage directly with the visitors through a series of containers. A hanging tower above the 700-foot drop into the Black Canyon would be used as gallery and a vertical aquarium.
The Sixth Crossing
The Sixth Crossing
Once completed it will become the world's longest arch bridge.
The bridge will link the localities of Al Jaddaf and Dubai Creek. It will have six lanes of traffic in each direction and will be able to carry 20,000 vehicles per hour. In the center will be a track for Dubai's Metro.
