Cycle infrastructure

A multimodal transport hub in timber-concrete hybrid construction

Project • By Ostertag Architects • Train stations

Railway Station Fritzens Wattens

The project's guiding concept was to develop the new railway station not merely as an infrastructure facility, but as an urban connecting element that enables barrier-free everyday mobility between the two communities for everyone. A broadly sweeping, generously dimensioned bridge structure made of timber and steel for pedestrians and cyclists is the central element, both functionally and visually. Andreas Buchberger Andreas Buchberger ON SHORT ROUTES At the Fritzens-Wattens mobility hub, the different modes of transport are not simply arranged side by side; instead, the structural design emerges from the integration of multimodal connections along short routes. The distance between the bicycle parking facilities in the interio... More

IJboulevard

A design team led by VenhoevenCS architecture+urbanism - with Van Hattum en Blankevoort and DS Landscape architects - has created IJboulevard, a new underwater bike parking facility in the heart of Amsterdam. The innovative project makes a significant contribution to the city, transforming the area to create a unique experience for cyclists whilst providing new public space and improving the city’s infrastructure. Sited in a complex urban location next to Amsterdam Central Station - where trains, trams, buses, taxis, pedestrians and cyclists converge - and the river IJ, the underwater facility has space for over 4,000 bicycles.

Himlavalvet, Ängelholm Bridge

DESIGN DESCRIPTION Entropic has won the competition for a new road bridge in Ängelholm, Sweden. Himlavalvet, translating to the Swedish phrase ”heavens Vault”, the bridge will allow people to climb a structural staircase and connect with the sky above to be one with the surrounding natural environment. Today, cities and towns are shifting towards providing greater diversity in how we can interact with the city, to encourage people to be active and outdoors. Himlavalvet will combine a recreational viewing point with Ängelholms infrastructural needs. People will be able to climb the new bridge and enjoy views over the landscape, a space to play, meet and relax! The bridge will become not only a vital new connecti... More

Knostrop Weir Bridge

Knostrop Weir footbridge forms part of the wider Leeds Flood Alleviationscheme. It will be a key link in maintaining a pedestrian and cycle pathway along the River Aire. A simple but dynamic design was developed. Cantilevering piers supported from the new weir cradle a sinuous deck form. Plan curvature produces wider deck areas where people can stop and watch the weir without impeding other users who will be commuting into the City. Careful attention was made to avoid creating any complex curvature in the architectural form of the deck which would have been difficult to fabricate and impact cost. More
