Richard Rogers Likes Curves
New Glasgow bridge chosenThe shape of the latest bridge to cross the River Clyde has been decided by Glasgow City Council.
The winner of the competition is architect Richard Rogers with his design for a curved crossing called Neptune's Way.
So, why is it curved?
Penny Lewis, of Scotland's architectural magazine Prospect, said Broomielaw was an odd choice for the bridge.
"Most of these iconic, cultural pedestrian bridges lead somewhere", she said.
"One in London leads to the Tate and St Paul's, one in Newcastle leads to the Baltic, but this doesn't lead anywhere in particular except to Broomielaw which is not the most inviting place."
