Crossing the bridge is a unique experience because of it's specific layout and views that we encounter when going through the gate (closed part of the bridge) prearing us to enter into another dimension,and aweks spirituality.Technological solutinos and modern design of the bridge become the brand of Sarajevo.Tender for the construction of a pedestrion bridge was announced in year 2007,five years later the bridgewas built.

Forme is unique,simple and attractive at the same time and because of the unexpectedness triggers a series os asociations and establishing a new vision.Loop on the bridge is symbolic gate ,in our traditions entries in the cities have always been marked by gates.Line appears on the most secession facilites among wich include Academy of Fine Arts.Around the bridge we have different styls of facilites and two benks are completely different,one coverd with grass and another built from stone,we decide for visual contrast.
