The story behind the kit
An arch does more than create a dramatic shape. It redirects weight through its curve and into the supports at either side.
Assemble the interlocking bridge, test how the pieces support one another and trace the path a load follows. South Africa’s Bloukrans Bridge provides the real structure behind the puzzle and a useful starting point for comparing a model with a full-scale concrete arch.
