On the 38th Anniversary of the liberation of Da Nang City in Vietname, this 666 meter long, 37.5 meter wide fire-breathing dragon bridge across the Han River opened to the public.
15,000 Philips LED lights means that it can change to an array of vibrant colors, and of course it spits fire and water on command.
Da Nang’s Firebreathing Dragon Bridge first appeared on 5thingsilearnedtoday.com
Stuart Brand’s book How Buildings Learn led to his 6-part BBC series (embedded above). This is one I share often. Although about architecture (and I LOVE architecture) its lessons and thoughts are applicable to interaction design, service design and web design. I try to share it with everyone I can. And so I am again.
