Cirkelbroen

This guide to Cirkelbroen in Copenhagen tells the story of Olafur Eliasson's 2015 bridge across the canal, built from five staggered steel platforms that force pedestrians and cyclists into a small zigzag negotiation with each other. It follows Eliasson's own explanation for the design and the sailing-ship imagery behind the tall masts and rigging overhead. Listen for the tilted wooden railing beneath your hands as you cross.
