Revitalization of Tsui Ping River is a one-kilometer-long urban design project, transforming a drab and musty Kwun Tong nullah into an ecologically sustainable Tsui Ping River in Hong Kong. In the past, this concrete nullah was designed solely for drainage discharge purposes, lacking in ecological value and vitality. Through ecological, landscaping, and environmental upgrading works, the project creates quality public spaces, realizing the vision of “Rivers in the City”.

Skaistakalnis Park is the oldest park in Panevėžys, Lithuania. Set in a scenic landscape along the bend of the Nevežis River, the park features hilly, wooded areas, small streams, and ponds. The architectural team "PUPA / Life Over Space" redesigned the park to enhance its beauty and accessibility. New bridges and paths improved access to previously hidden areas, while new activity zones, refreshed greenery, and increased biodiversity made the park more enjoyable for citizens. Aistė Rakauskaitė Aistė Rakauskaitė The park has a rich history, originating as part of a historic manor in the late 19th century.

The bridge across the Danube river in Linz is part of a major Austrian infrastructure development – the A 26 highway, a four-lane western bypass for the city of Linz – and it crosses one of the busiest waterways in Europe, as well as rail tracks and two federal highways. The steep rock slopes of the Danube valley allow the supporting cables to be anchored directly in the rock, thus eliminating the need for pylons. The four-lane highway bridge could thus be designed as a pure suspension bridge. Due to the topographical conditions in the north and south, it connects to the existing traffic network via tunnels. ASFINAG The superstructure consists of a composite steel construction, with a central steel box girder and haunched... More

DESCRIPTION Edenland Pedestrian Bridge in Luxelakes  - An Alternative Expression of Natural Order Arch-Exist 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. Arch-Exist 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"). Arch-Exist Here the newly constructed Edenland Pedestrian Bridge differentiated itself from other winding pedestrian bridges in Luxelakes with an aest... More

The uniqueness of the place and the ethical and aesthetic responsibility for living in the place in parity with nature are realized by the authors as a strategic worldview based on natural processes that are sustainable in their development. The language of architecture of the viewing platform, addressed to the nature of the living, is a biomimetic aesthetic that has an artistic potential, which is a bridge that allows one to explore and combine the natural and the artificial. The most important object of our perception in this place is nature itself: the Yenisei River, the spurs of the Sayan Mountains, and a cozy pine forest through which we get to the riverside. These key magnets, in which unique and large-scale man-made objects are insc... More

Nature-inclusive Amstelstroom Bridge functions as a new link in Amsterdam’s infrastructural and ecological network. Providing ample space in, on and under this bridge for a wide range of living beings to co-exist as part of urban nature, we made the integral design in a dedicated team with ecologists and constructors. Luuk Kramer Robust and richly detailedSpanning Duivendrechtsevaart, Amstelstroom Bridge functions as the entrance of the rapidly developing Amstelkwartier-area. It caters to all traffic with extra generosity for cyclists and pedestrians since these are eco-friendly modes of transportation that stimulate social interaction and a lively streetscape. From afar, the bridge shows its slim silhouette; coming closer, the... More

Project name:  Anti-smog bridge in Warsaw  Typology: Bridge Localization: Warsaw, Poland  Year: 2017 Team: Jakub Figel, Filip Kurasz, Karolina Jankowska   The concept for the pedestrian-cyclist bridge over Vistula River was created for the international architecture competition. It is based on the anti-smog solution that aims to provide better air conditions in the city.    GUIDELINES  The main guideline for the design of the Bicycle-Pedestrian Bridge across the Vistula River in Warsaw became the relationship between the existing bridges and the new form. The proposed bridge due to its lower rank can not dominate or compete with the exisitng Świętokrzyski Bridge. For this reason, architects decided to design a horizontal structure blending... More
