AJR Integrative Imaging Cover

The Amgen Pedestrian Bridge, a new $10 million dollar pedestrian bridge built for local biotech firm Amgen, crosses the railroad tracks along Seattle’s Queen Anne waterfront providing new pedestrian access to Elliott Bay Waterfront Park in addition to Amgen's own lab buildings. The bridge’s design is meant to resemble the structure of DNA, and in this context, it represents a bridge to the future of this new journal and to our molecular imaging future. The image certainly evokes our radiology instincts for shadows and the play of photons. The structure consists of three arches: a main steel tube spanning 412 feet with a 50-foot rise and two secondary tubes each spanning about 215 feet and tilted outward 30 degrees to create a complicated form of irregular spaces, warped surfaces, and connecting structural elements. To top things off, the main arch is slightly askew to the axis of the deck.
