Hows This For A Cantaliver?


OK so last night I went to see the Bridge collapse in Minneapolis. While there I saw the new Guthrie theater. Surprisingly the theater was open and the whole interior is like a fun house. It is un-fukin-believable. See pics. I also threw in a couple of the bridge.

To give you a idea of scale the bottom of the cant. starts at 4 stories up and goes out at least 150 feet.

wow

what is inside the canteliever? That is an amazing structure considering the engineering required for the additional snow load.

There is a ramp up. At the end of the ramp there is a Bar made completely of Stainless. From there there is a balcony that you walk out on. The bridge pic was taken from there. Then there is a walkway going up to the next level where there is a restaurant.

That's a wild one. Along those lines have you seen the Grand Canyon sky walk yet?
