Title:
Concretometry
About the Photos:
The Verzasca dam is 220 metres high by 380 metres in length. It was built between 1960 and 1965. The reservoir feeds a three-turbine hydroelectric power station, which generates 220 GWh of energy a year. From afar it looks like every other mega structure. But from closer and from different angles, very interesting shapes and patterns appear. The site became famous after the shooting of the opening jump scene in the 1995 James Bond movie “GoldenEye”. It is home to one of the world’s highest bungee jumping fixed installations.
