floor plan

The West Brabant Water Line is a defense-line consisting of a series of fortresses and cities with inundation areas in the south-west of the Netherlands. It dates from the 17th century but fell into disrepair in the 19th century. When the water line was finally restored, an access bridge across the the moat of one of the fortresses, Fort de Roovere, was needed. This fort now has a new, recreational function and lies on several routes for cycling and hiking.

It is, of course, highly improper to build bridges across the moats of defense works, especially on the side of the fortress the enemy was expected to appear on. That’s why we designed an invisible bridge. Its construction is entirely made of wood, waterproofed with EPDM foil. The bridge lies like a trench in the fortress and the moat, shaped to blend in with the outlines of the landscape.

details

The bridge can’t be seen from a distance because the ground and the water come all the way up to its edge. When you get closer, the fortress opens up to you through a narrow trench. You can then walk up to its gates like Moses on the water.

While interesting am I the only one who see’s it to be extremely flawed? Pretty pointless if it just fills up and can’t be used when it rains.

    Those were my thoughts exactly. It looks great, but what happens when the moat overtops the bridge? Is there an easy way for the water to clear out?

    If you look properly, the floorboards have gaps where the water can go and gotten rid off in case of rain, as for floods, the waterlevels in the Netherlands are controlled, have to be controlled, notice the dike around the little lake?

An economical and sensitive solution to a seemingly impossible problem becoming an exhilarating spatial event by itself. A wonderful, and rare, example of what a great art form architecture under auspicious circumstances can become. Hats off.

great name for the bridge :)
original idea
nice visual effect and anticipated emotional reaction

for all the people who see flaws, dont you think they calculated all of that into their project? it would be really silly if they didnt think of the rain and flooding while designing a bridge on water. so stop worrying, im sure they have a drainage solution in details ;)

Paul says:

The design is really interesting, however it is functionally flawed in a few ways.
Firstly, this bridge is going to require allot of maintenance. The debris (mud, earth…)from the sides of the moat will inevitably be poured down with rain because of the low sides of the bridge. This being Holland, well, it is bound to rain often. That will require cleaning… As for the water problem, I believe that the designers took that into account fro the beginning, so that I do not see as a potential problem.
Secondly, the bridge is surrounded by bicycle paths. Instead of just riding over, now the cyclists have to take their bike down and up a substantial flight of stairs. The bridge being narrow, 2 cyclist will have a hard time crossing at the same time (I am not sure how frequent those paths are, so maybe this is not a problem?)
Old people and people with walking difficulties will also have a hard time crossing, since instead of just easily walking over, they now have a vertical obstacle of a sort.
All of this being said,I again state that this is a stunning piece of design.

    I agree and whatever method is used to drain the “bridge” will require lots of maintenance. I have to imagine it relies on a sump pump given location. Even a natural gravity drain would require maintenance.

    They could just as easily built an elegant under deck truss bridge not visible above the moat.

Olu Fagbewesa says:

First of all, as a designer I appreciate the thought process behind this design but at the same time I think there are some fundamental design principles that the designer didn’t explore.
1.Except this is an architectural installation i.e if its not permanent, then it works, but if not i wld rather say it might be a possible flop because if the attempt was to create an invisible bridge kind of feeling, They should have taken it under the water or something ….with a glass top almost like an aquarium kinda feeling, thereby not inferring with the present situation. i.e the flow of water be it a still lake or not. because it should also be noted that the lake/stream or whatever might a living habit for some parasites or living elements. What the design has done is to encroach into this habit which could be a possible disaster so to say. ” Architecture is Art or It is not Architecture”. I would rather say that the design isn’t contextual..Just my own thoughts…In all kudos to the architects!
