Yet another ingenious design by Heatherwick studios, the rolling bridge is as much an installation as it is a functioning bridge. The bridge curls up into itself when not needed, but the moment once it is required, it unfolds and stretches across the water to the other side. It was said that they had to slow the bridge down because people were actually frightened of it!
The studio has also looked into designing a much grander scale version of this to stretch across the Thames In essence it would three sets of rolling bridges which connect together and then curl apart when a ship needs to sail past.
