Master Piece- Bridge

This bridge is half under the water, for ships to pass and then again, it comes out on the other side.





Truly a marvelous piece of engineering!





This bridge is between Sweden and Denmark.

Lavasa Hill Station, Mose Valley, Pune, India

Built around a lake, Lavasa is a lifestyle development and India's first post-independence "hill station," or second-home community. Lavasa is poised to be a world-class urban and economic center built in an area of 8,000 acres / 3,240 ha.



The development defines a new way to support human habitation while preserving and improving India's important natural ecosystems. The intent is to provide a new sustainable community, both in its relationship to the environment and in how people live, learn, work and play. Combining longstanding patterns of historic Indian development with vernacular building forms, the plan preserves open spaces while establishing a dozen compact, walk-able villages along the lake.
