PAMPHLET ARCHITECTURE 7: BRIDGE OF HOUSES, Steven Holl, 1981
William Stout Books

Throughout history bridges have been a focus of legends of every civilization. Esthetes, philosophers and poets have used the bridge as a transcendent form. In this Pamphlet Steven Holl documents two projects. The first, from a 1979 competition proposal for Melbourne, Australia, is in the form of an ideal speculation. The second proposal, sited on a disused elevated rail link the Chelsea Area of Manhattan, is more pragmatic and focuses on a mix of housing types.
