Architecture What Does Zaha Hadid's New Bridge Look Like?

Before reading the article, it looked like Abu Dhabi's tribute to the original Tacoma-Narrows Bridge.
With this YouTube video, you get two for one: a ride cross this unimpressive structure and four-to-the-floor Arabic disco.

I watched part of that bridge being built. lovely to look at but pretty much built by slave labor from india, pakistan, afganistan, iran and others. Paid, yes, a very small wage they send back home immediately. room and board? yes, in desert camps, hundreds crammed together, 18 hour work days, then hours to drive in buses to the camps.
