LFA Swing Bridge, July 7th

The team behind the Dinosaur Swing Bridge will describe the process of the bridge’s inception, evolution, and construction, how the design emerged and improved, and how a community deepened their relationship with this pivotal structure that bridges heritage old and new. We will show you design models, drawings, prototypes and crowd-funding tools that grew support from over 600 small and major donors. You will see the bridge in action and meet architects Tonkin Liu, fabricators Cake Industries and the client, Friends of Crystal Palace Dinosaurs. This event is free to attend but requires a ticket to book a slot. Register here.
