Edenland Pedestrian Bridge in Luxelakes / unarchitecte

Andreas Luco — Sun, 12 Apr 2026 17:00:00 +0000

Edenland Pedestrian Bridge connects LuxeIsland and Edenland in Luxelakes, aimed to enhance the connection between the community clusters, parks and green spaces, and commercial areas of the space. While the order of nature, as Le Corbusier perceives, lies in the geometry it contains; Paul Cézanne captured nature through the sphere, cone and cylinder (Paul Cézanne said "Everything in nature is formed upon the sphere, cone and cylinder"). Here the newly constructed Edenland Pedestrian Bridge differentiated itself from other winding pedestrian bridges in Luxelakes with an aesthetic value, simple and tranquil, expressing a Platonic idea through pure geometric forms. Therefore, the architect chose the triangular pyramid (a tetrahedron composed of triangles) as the architectural motif pattern for the bridge.

Bridge over Foša / Prostorne Taktike

Hadir Al Koshta — Thu, 26 Jun 2025 03:00:00 +0000

Within the contact zone of Trogir, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and on the place of a previous wooden bridge, we've designed a new steel pedestrian bridge. Wanting it to be more than a mere crossing of the sea channel, the bridge was envisioned as a vibrant social hub, a destination in itself. The bridge has not asserted itself aggressively within the landscape but rather possesses a distinct character and identity, subtly referencing the city's esteemed shipbuilding heritage and maritime spirit.

Cycle and Pedestrian Crossing Over the Fareja Bridge / Rómulo Neto Arquitectos

Valeria Silva — Thu, 03 Apr 2025 11:00:00 +0000

The local government challenged us to design a new pedestrian and cycling crossing between the banks of Vagos and Sousa. The old bridge, built on June 27, 1855, and closed in 1978, is currently in ruins and should be preserved as an integral part of the landscape and the historical memory of the site. However, being aware that the ruins may eventually disappear over time, the main challenge was to design a "museum bridge" that would enhance the existing structure, while simultaneously having its own identity and being capable of enduring and functioning autonomously in the future.

Pilar Caballero — Thu, 06 Mar 2025 04:00:00 +0000

Between the two stations of Pleyel and Saint-Denis Stade de France, the Franchissement Urbain Pleyel provides an opportunity to create a public space at the heart of the city that, beyond its functional link, becomes a place of habitation, transit, but also a place of relaxation, residence, development of urban pleasures, and attention to the magnificent panorama that the railway river opens up to the horizon. The aim was to transform this functional link into a true place, an urban space that is appropriable, livable, and generous, making the most of the site's unique conditions without denying them, to create urban components, places of enjoyment that establish the bridge as a real piece of city infrastructure, a new focal point for the Landy Pleyel neighborhood.

Andreas Luco — Tue, 10 Dec 2024 07:00:00 +0000

A new pedestrian and cycling bridge over the River Severn, designed by Moxon Architects and Jacobs, has opened to the public. The new cable-stayed structure, located north of Worcester's centre, is the city's third bridge solely for active travel. Reflecting the council's ambition to improve connectivity between the city's core, residential areas, river and green corridor, the bridge continues a tradition of landmark civic infrastructure in the river valley. The Jacobs-led team worked closely with Moxon to provide multi-disciplinary design services and consultancy to Worcestershire County Council from feasibility through to planning application, detailed design and technical support during construction. Taking its name from the Kepax Ferry, a 19th-century ferry crossing that operated close to the site of the new bridge, the project provides a vital connection between the city and residential quarters to the northwest. It will accommodate commuters, visitors, and leisure users alike.

Hana Abdel — Thu, 07 Nov 2024 10:00:00 +0000

British Land and AustralianSuper, the joint venture partners behind the Canada Water masterplan, unveiled a new Asif Khan-designed public architectural landmark. The dramatic 170m long boardwalk is inspired by the history of the Surrey Docks and its role at the heart of the timber trade during the 19th and 20th centuries. Townshend Landscape Architect designed a series of new steps down to the water's edge with waterside seating alongside an educational dipping pond, transforming the area into a unique public space to bring people together to learn about the area's heritage and ecology. The striking red timber structure allows people to traverse the dock by stepping from timber to timber, following in the footsteps of the rafters who hopped between floating deal planks in the 19th and early 20th centuries.

The project is renovating an old bridge. The bridge is located in the center of Kang County, Gansu Province, at the confluence of two rivers, 200 meters away from the county government. To the north of the old bridge is a commercial street, to the west a kindergarten, and to the east a residential area. But the mixed traffic of people and vehicles poses a danger to pedestrians and slow traffic crowd and also affects the operation of the commercial street. The new bridge reduces vehicular traffic and is planned as a pedestrian-friendly area along with the commercial street. Meanwhile, the new bridge extends the commercial street, creating not only more diverse and comfortable public spaces but also a new landmark for the county town.
