Architects have entered the odd crossing into a competition to come up with a new interactive structure in the City of Love.The bouncy bridge would be made up of three inflatable trampolines, each filled with 3,700 cubic metres of air.Computer generated images show members of the public flying through the air as they take in famous landmarks like the Eiffel Tower.AZC, the firm behind the design, say they want to create something fun and frivolous in stressful Paris.They write on their company website: It appears to us that Paris has the bridges and passages necessary for the flow of vehicular and pedestrian traffic across its waterways.Our intention is to invite its visitors and inhabitants to engage on a newer and more playful path across this same water.
