Gli architetti di LMN festeggiano il completing the Grand Avenue Park Bridge to Washington

The bridge creates a new panoramic piattaforma and a civic space with an inventive and accessible path. The progetto is the first pedestrian bridge and the progettato service of the studio in collaboration with gli ingegneri dp kpff consulting, and it is a composition of cement and steel, design and functional, natural and digital technology and progettazione.

LMN Architects celebrates the completion of the Grand Avenue Park Bridge to Everett, Washington. The asymmetric capriata in active resistance agli agenti atmosferici, lunga 27 metri, extends from the fianco della collina thin to a vertical tower in cemento armato, creating a sequence of new civic spazi and collegando the Grand Avenue Park with the growing quarter of the lungomare di Everett .

By raising the infrastructure to a public benefit with a cure, the Grand Avenue Park Bridge stands in evidence of the value of the design of the public sector. The bridge transforms the lungomare in Everett, stabilizing a new collegiate building on the Grand Avenue Park and the lungomare room in via the city of Rome. All of the recent opening of the bridge, the union Cassie Franklin commented: "It is a beautiful bridge, it is a useful tool, and it will be part of our history for the generation. It is a new splendor of risors".

The new bridge rises to a complicated sequence of changes to the pendulum and the design of the service in an improbable way in a way that intricate pedestrian and scale blows, surroundings and everything inside an inclined capriata, presenting a new inventor through Grand Avenue Park al lungomare room. Attracted to his 27 meter track, the bridge carries the main pubblic service between sailing on a straight line, not being blocked by a corsie and the BNSF train all the base of a high slope 80 piedi, the tutto keeping it breathtaking view from the park. In part, I have a panoramic view of the preservation of the whole mountain on top of the bridge, in the form of the largest structure of the bridge in the Grand Avenue Park.

"Come progettisti, abevomo trovato que circostanze l'occasione perfetta per creare un luogo em qui le caratteristiche accessibili definissero l'esperienza", says partner LMN Stephen Van Dyck, AIA. "In its progettazione, the Grand Avenue Park Bridge is a destination. I felt it, the scale and gli spazi of the creano bridge in a variety of ways and all around the world in the light of the scoperta."

The design is pragmatic and economical. The shape of the capriata rises directly from its program, drawing on the shape and character of the traditional tradition of the railway in the Northeast of the Pacific. Gli elementi strutturali sono costruiti in resistant action agli agenti atmosferici, a form of gray activation, using the protective layer, providing resistance to all corrosion and migrating the bridge in time. Advancing and attributing the capriata, a lucid and pizzoso guardrail serves as a de facto wayfinding system for the bridge, in contrast to the gray character of the capriata arrugginita with its pannelli di alluminio argenteo.

The parapetto is the character of a performance that is inspired by the natural and surrounding environment. The variegata densità delle perforazioni is the progettata per migliorare la riflettenza dell'illuminazione artificiale, migliorando le prestazioni delle luci lineari integrates in the upper part of the parapetto and ridicando a minimum l'abbagliamento and luminous lighting. The whole pannello of the aluminum is unique, corresponding to all the geometry of the bridge, as seen from the window, and as diverse as the guardrail.

The geometry of 400 pannelli di aluminio is this generata through a computer script, automating the layout, the numeracy and the production of the tag file. A separate file for each pannello is provided with a manufacturer for use with a computer and numerical controller (CNC) Waterjet. The director of the LMN, Scott Crawford, says that the experimentation of the LMN with our CNC machine for the production of the mockup in scale is the same for the modality, the quantity of the area for the rifflessness and testing I file the digital tag. This question helps me to allow a solution to be completed correctly for your contest. "

The sovrapposizione di elementi the traliccio su wide scala and the performance of the scala creano un'esperienza dynamica di vista, luce and ombra lungo il percorso. A high lift in reinforcement and a nucleus for the use of spalla ovest, its pareti in reinforcement sleep state sabbiate with the performance scheme and advance in a scale leading to the pedestrian walk.

The iconic presenza del ponte affonda le sue radici nell'inaspettata giustapposizione formale di muscoloso and delicato, rustic and raffinato, symmetrical and asimmetrical, inside and fuori. From its completion to fine August, the Grand Avenue Park Bridge is a popular destination, valuing the pedestrian walk of the north-west quarter and the growing quarter of the mixed use lung. Embracing a pragmatic and creative appraisal, the design continues to evolve into a functional style, intriguing the urban infrastructure in the city and dividing a catalyst for the continued rivitalizzazione della comunità.
