Pedestrian and cycling bridge sponsored by Galp Energy
The proposal of the bridge-park is not just to connect the two sides of a motorway, but to re-establish certain qualities that were interrupted with the construction of the motorway, namely the continuity of the tree-lined paths. As if we were landscape archaeologists we extended the two broken up axis and that lead to the peculiar shape of the bridge in plan. In order to emphasize the continuity of the trees enfilades the bridge becomes part of a linear park, with trees planted on it as well. The bridge-park goes beyond a simple element to get from one side of the motorway to the other, it becomes an experience. Its asymmetric profile makes the perception of the bridge different depending on each individual's circumstances and responds as well to structural requirements.
