El concepto del puente colgante es la unión de dos puntos un atrás y un adelante
-como la línea de la vida-como un viaje
El sistema de anillos se inspira en los telares de cintura permite un armado
rápido y con un potencial de expresión estética muy variado aprovechando las
características físico mecánicas de las estructuras de las cuerdas suspendida;
como los INCAS lo usaban hace 500 años
La técnica constructiva de estos puentes se ha mantenido de generación a través
de 3000años de cultura textil andina
The concept of the suspension bridge is joining
two points a back and forth like the line of life-
as a journey
The ring system is inspired by the waist looms it
allows quick assembly and a potential
advantage aesthetic expression varied physical
characteristics of mechanical structures ropes
suspended; how the Incas used it 500 years ago
