Prize(s)Bronze in Infrastructure Architectural Design / Pedestrian bridge
Entry Description

As a significant cultural heritage of China, the covered bridge is distinguished by its architectural-like roof. This design not only protects the bridge structure but also provides shelter for pedestrians, offering a space for rest, interaction, and gatherings. The pedestrian landscape bridge deconstructs this traditional approach, integrating it into bridge design through a modern architectural language. It preserves its fundamental functionality while innovating its morphology, creating a covered bridge system that aligns with contemporary aesthetics and construction principles.
