An alternative plan: The Bridge Inhabited float "over the Straits of Messina

The idea is Temor Mor Israeli architect, "the beautiful nature of the area and its rich and long history deserve a work of great architectural value" (see the animation by clicking HERE )
Emmanuel Rigaud (on "Time Strait," online newspaper Messina)

The Bridge on the Strait. A work that over time has become increasingly at "political" and less "technical". There is in fact more focused on the financial / institutional events such as impacts on land, the economy of the South and two regions in particular, the company's "Strait of Messina", which should address the coordination of work. Alignments that take this or that position and make the flag, particular election. Rather less attention to the actual plan of implementation of the fixed link. Minor was limited because the debate on the draft single-span (3300km), which should be carried out and possible risks involved.

The authors of the article "Geological and stability to the bridge over the Strait of Messina, Alessandro Guerricchio and Maurice Bridge (University of Reggio Calabria), have ended their search with the ' statement: "In case of an earthquake in particular energy, the structure could be involved in important dimensions of gravitational phenomena. A possible, even likely, mechanism of instability that may involve the side on which it is the tower on the side of Calabria, would produce a stress on the structure of the impulsive type, with very serious consequences on structural stability. "
As economist Guido Signorino University of Messina, known to be opposed to the construction work, in his article "erroneous Mistakes and Solutions in Urban Planning: The Project for a Bridge over the Straits of Messina," he wrote: "I will summarize some of the many reasons why the project is totally anti economy, both locally and nationally. Locally, the bridge reduces welfare because of environmental costs and congestion, the environmental costs of the bridge relate to its impact on the urban ecosphere:
a) nature reserve Ganzirri (Community Interest) will be irretrievably damaged;
b) more than 5 million m3 of waste from the excavation are located in very dangerous positions on the slopes of the mountains Peloritani, adjacent to the residential part of town. In addition, the bridge will be built 15 km from the city center, for a total of 25.7 km of road and rail tunnels and bridges that connect the bridge with the more central areas of the city.
The conclusion of the economic analysis of the project is definitely negative, due to:
a) errors in traffic forecasts; b) underestimation of investment costs, c) inaccuracies in cost-benefit analysis;
d) the adverse impact on the public budget and the economy of Sicily ".
But the Italian Government is a much more convenient, economically and financially sustainable and socially more desirable at the same time? Some people has launched a proposal: a "floating bridge". The idea came to Mor Temor * (see chart at the end Article ), an architect who Isreal is to achieve a PhD-PHD at the "Technion" the Israel Institute of Technology where his research is followed by prof. Michael Burt and Professor. Yehiel Rosenfeld. The topic of the PhD is on floating bridges, and the 'Case Study' which is prepared right on the Messina Bridge
To understand what we mean just look at the photos but even better that we report the video below. "The ordinary bridges and tunnels, underground and underwater, were studied and evaluated to solve the problem of the Straits of Messina from various Recercare - explains Temor -. No doubt it was concluded that these structures are not able to make feasible the Italian dream. To make the bridge you need to think differently. A bridge-based Dwell Floating Platforms. This is a unique concept, came into the world through three years of laborious research done by myself on floating structures. "
The main features of the floating bridge are presented in detail inhabited by the same architect Israeli
1) It uses water as a foundation for the girder and the pylon of the bridge. The proposed configuration is based on floating platforms of reinforced concrete, in which the internal space in these platforms will be allocated to commercial activities, offices, hotels, parking lots, parks, etc.. Also, you can also build townhouses in the elliptical space which is the two steel beams in the shape of strings ( see the movie: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gMYwNo-uzX0 ).
The floating foundation was chosen as the solution because of the depth of water of over 100 meters, the presence of water on the coasts messenesse active and Calabria, and the presence of strong earthquakes.
Bridge ofre more than 3,000,000 square meters of living space.
2) the possibility 'of building a large part of the bridge (floating platforms) in a shipyard which is then dragged into position floating on the water, thus saving in costs and construction time.
3) The floating bridge will be financed by the sale of inhabited residential units, more than 3,000,000 square meters of living space.
4) The economic benefit obtained by the construction of the Messina Strait Bridge will be felt nationally, as a result of improved means of passage between Reggio Calabria and Messina, facilitating the rapid regional development on both sides of the Strait, especially in the field of industrial and tourism sectors. During construction, there will be a booming local economy. The various activities to support the construction of the bridge will mobilize a huge amount of forces that will bring prosperity to the region.
5) Due to the platforms floats, the position of the floating bridge over the Strait of Messina inhabited no longer depend on the minimum distance between Sicily and Calabria. The causeway could be built a few miles from the center of the city of Messina. The total of 25.7 km of road and railway tunnels has been suggested to link the central area of \u200b\u200bthe city of Messina is not necessary.
6) The environmental impact of the floating bridge is much lower than that of other proposed projects.
"The Floating Bridge project of the dress was sent to the Italian Ministry of Infrastructures via e-mail on November 15 last year and so far received no answer - reveals Temor -. I hope that the Italian government to consider how a viable alternative. The Strait of Messina, its beautiful nature and its rich and long history, deserves a bridge of great architectural value. Worth a work of art unique, like the Tower of Pisa and the Ponte Vecchio in Florence, the Piazza di San Marco in Venice, etc.. So far, I think, nobody thought to give the Strait Bridge its true value. All the designers have just thought of a traditional bridge, to pass the passengers from side to side. "
