Unbuilt Chandigarh: Completion of the Capitol Ensemble

A fad for London - a satirical architecture competition
"Garden Bridge". Courtesy of Heatherwick Studio The expensive pedestrian "Garden Bridge" project to be built in London has met with a lack of understanding among a considerable number of city residents. In addition to its cost of 60 million pounds, the absurdity of the situation, according to the organizers of the competition, lies in the fact that for the implementation of the "green project" will have to sacrifice an already existing delightful park area. It is for this territory that the participants of the competition must be offered the most selfish, flawed, illogical and impractical project. This will become a kind of protest against the construction of the bridge.
