Smart Circular Bridge in Ulm

The Smart Circular Bridge in Ulm is the world's first bridge made of a biocomposite material composed of flax fibres and bio-based polyester resin that can withstand vehicles weighing up to 12 tonnes. Designed by Prof. Hanaa Dahy, it combines structural and design requirements with a reference to the iconic Ulm Cathedral. Sensors installed inside the bridge transmit data that is translated into audio by the KLANGERFINDER studio. This turns the bridge into a musical instrument for pedestrians.
