The scarf Calatrava in Jerusalem is a perfect gift to everybody, who likes blue and/or, who wants to have a meaningful, light, modern gift from Jerusalem. You can't take the bridge, designed by the famous Spanish architect Santiago Calatrava in the heart of Jerusalem, but you can take the silk scarf Calatrava in Jerusalem , designed by Triqita of a photo of Calatrava's Bridge of Strings in Jerusalem, and tell the story of the bridge and the scarf Calatrava in Jerusalem, which you will find on the card going along with the scarf Calatrava in Jerusalem and its gift packaging.
Some people build bridges, some people burn bridges, most people cross bridges, but atTriqita, we convert bridges into fashion accessories. Some bridges serve as connectors, some as skyways, most bridges decorate the landscape, but only few bridges decorate silk ties and scarves.
The Jerusalem Bridge of Strings is the third bridge that we made easy to wear in the shape of a scarf Calatrava in Jerusalem. The first was NY Riverside Drive, then the Rio Antirio Bridge in Greece, and now Calatrava's bridge in Jerusalem. We had some experience, but we wanted to create not just a nice pattern, but a symbol. Ehud Olmert, Jerusalem's mayor at the time when the Calatrava bridge project was initiated, also wanted not just a functional solution to a traffic problem. He wanted a symbol.
"You have done many bridges”, he said to Calatrava, “but the bridge for Jerusalem will be the most beautiful thing that you have ever done."
It took 6 years and $70 million to build the bridge at the very busy entrance to western Jerusalem. Now there are light trains running and pedestrians walking on the bridge. There is a plaza under the bridge, which, according to Calatrava, "gives character and unity to this delicate place". It works in line with the idea of King David - the founder of Jerusalem: "Jerusalem is builded as a city that is compacted together." (Psalm 122:3).
The extraordinarily beautiful, 320 meter-long Jerusalem suspension Bridge of Strings has a single column with 66 cables linking the column's peak and base and serving also as strings for wind and sky to play their never the same music, exactly as Calatrava had in mind from the very beginning: "I thought the city of David deserves a bridge that looks like a harp, the instrument he played.” The white strings of the Jerusalem bridge, after Triqita's construction works, became the white hexagonal stars on the scarf Calatrava in Jerusalem
Looking at the Jerusalem Bridge of Strings you see the Harp of David. Looking at the pattern of the scarf Calatrava in Jerusalem, designed from the photo of this bridge, you see also the Stars of David - the symbol of the State of Israel.
Jerusalem has the Western Wall - an iconic symbol for Jews. Jerusalem has the Dome of the Rock - an iconic symbol for Muslims. And, Jerusalem has the Church of the Holy Sepulchre - an iconic symbol of Christians. The Jerusalem Bridge of Strings is a new symbol of Jerusalem, serving equally well for everybody, bringing joy to everybody's eyes no matter what is their religion, as does the scarf Calatrava in Jerusalem .
