The competition is organized to mark the 800^th anniversary of the opening of the first London Bridge over the River Thames, which was initially an inhabited bridge.

A building upon the London Bridge is unique – it is over the River Thames! Recognizing this fact, the first level of the building is used only for cafes and restaurants, as having a drink over the river is an unsurpassed experience. Upper levels are entirely residential, the flats having the most exquisite view in London. 

The building consists of two main elements – a single-storey ribbon-like part, which follows the contour of the bridge, and two 5-storey elliptical volumes, aligned with the bridge’s supports. In this way, uninterrupted view along the river and natural wind-flow are provided.

Driverless electrical motorcars, controlled by a computer and powered by batteries, provide the public transport. They move on wheels along fixed route, defined by a guiding rail in the floor. Five cars operate for each direction, transporting 100 passengers at a time. The power is supplied by the photovoltaic cells in the roofs of the elliptical volumes.
