The Juscelino Kubitschek Bridge, also known as JK Bridge, designed by Alexandre Chan, is impressive due to its functionality and monumental architecture that transform the project into a unique execution of Brazilian engineering. The architecture comprises three arches inspired by the movement of a stone bouncing on the water's surface. This work integrates the concept of Brasilia, combining as it does beauty and innovation.
