ECOntainer Bridge - Ariel Sharon Park, Israel

The recycling of shipping containers as building materials in a practice very much in vogue. For this reason I have tended to steer away from including many projects which use this process, however one of the latest project from Israeli architect Yoav Messer takes such an innovative approach it undoubtedly deserves a mention. 

Intended as a centrepiece of sustainable and eco-conscious construction the bridge will sit within the Ariel Sharon Park. Cantilevered look out decks provide points of observation along the path, while the structure itself provides a colourful and eye catching addition to the park.
