Soleri Bridge
4.7 (204)attraction
4.7 (204)This canal footbridge by Paolo Soleri doubles as a solar calendar, tracking the equinoxes with precisely cast shadows.
Description
Spanning the Arizona Canal in downtown Scottsdale, the site pairs a pedestrian pathway and plaza with a monumental public artwork designed by Italian-American architect and philosopher Paolo Soleri. Regarded as a scenic walking spot across the water, the landmark incorporates an overhead pylon that casts its shadow along a bronze arc.
