pedestrian bridges
Is there already a thread just for cool pedestrian bridges? (does there need to be one?)
here's a new double-helix bridge in Singapore: http://inhabitat.com/wp-content/blog...ridge-ed01.jpg http://inhabitat.com/wp-content/blog...ridge-ed02.jpg http://inhabitat.com/wp-content/blog...y-Bridge-2.jpg http://inhabitat.com/wp-content/blog...y-Bridge-4.jpg http://inhabitat.com/2010/04/23/worl...-in-singapore/ sperling overpass in the vancouver area: http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3307/...776aaf05_b.jpg http://www.flickr.com/photos/thebuzzer/3614711131/ http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2549/...f6a14714_o.jpg http://www.flickr.com/photos/waferboard/3715472788/ peace bridge in calgary: http://www.archdaily.com/wp-content/...e20calgary.jpg http://www.archdaily.com/wp-content/...ry20bridge.jpg http://www.archdaily.com/32134/peace...ago-calatrava/ |

Calgary's other new forthcoming pedestrian bridge. The St. Patrick's Island Bridge:
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v311/joshwhit/RFR.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v3...hwhit/RFR2.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v3...hwhit/RFR3.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v3...hwhit/RFR4.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v3...hwhit/RFR6.jpg All from here. The landing in the middle is the namesake St. Patrick's Island. This design was chosen in a design competition that had 33 entries, 3 were shortlisted. The renderings above are preliminary, and there will be a more detailed design forthcoming. Construciton will tentatively start in spring 2011. ------------ Here's a video of the Peace Bridge (from the first post of this thread) that was released by Santiago Calatrava and the City of Calgary: Construction began a couple months ago, and it will be completed by fall 2010. |
The St. Patrick's Island Bridge is really nice

Pfluger pedestrian bridge to be extended http://www.statesman.com/news/local/...ed-179945.html http://www.statesman.com/multimedia/...tr_127502c.jpg http://www.statesman.com/news/texas/...-a-151580.html Here's a model showing a nearby residential project. The taller tower is now planned to be office space. The shorter one is already complete and is apartments. You can see the completed bridge expansion crossing Cesar Chavez up to 2nd Street just south of the residential project. http://img227.imageshack.us/img227/2...sparkplaza.jpg Quote:

It would indeed look far better with that "ramp stub" extended across the street. Right now, it just looks odd.

Can't find a good picture, but there is a recent pedestrian bridge connecting both sides of Detroit's Mexicantown that spans I-75 on the city's southwest side:

maybe it wasn't such a bad idea to start this thread. there are some cool footbridges out there. here's a rendering of another one:
http://www.archdaily.com/wp-content/...1-1000x540.jpg http://www.archdaily.com/wp-content/...1-1000x540.jpg http://www.archdaily.com/wp-content/...2-1000x628.jpg http://www.archdaily.com/55957/footb...farzin-studio/ |
That last one is stunning! I really hope it turns out like the renderings. It appears as if it's just hovering on the surface of the water. And the stairs down to the waters edge is genius.
