There was a big competition for the design of this bridge, and the winning proposal was submitted by an unusual team -- in the TED spirit, actually -- of an architect -- perhaps the greatest architect in the United Kingdom, Lord Norman Foster -- working with an artist, a sculptor, Sir Anthony Caro, and an engineering firm, Ove Arup.
为了争取桥的设计权，产生了激烈的竞争。 获胜的是由一只古怪队伍提交的设计—— 很有TED精神——的建筑师—— 可能算英国最伟大的建筑师，福斯特爵士—— 和一位雕塑家卡若爵士 以及Ove Arup工程公司合作而成。
