Are you actually serious? Bridges actually have to be buildable, and not just "look nice".
The peace bridge just happens to look amazing, it is amongst the more complicated engineered structures anywhere for its size, meets the design criteria, etc. I think some starting out architect that you are talking about would have trouble simply meeting the design criteria in this case.

I already know most of what you said in your post. That is why I am telling people that you can't compare the peace bridge design to the other competition. You can't spend the time nor resources needed in a competition unless you are personally wealthy. Why do I have to repeat myself here?
