Confronted with the task of designing a pedestrian bridge to be part
of a family of existing bridges - which were showing serious maintenance
problems - we made the proposal of a ‘non-bridge’. The
viaduct is situated in the natural park-landscape of the Rembrandtpark
and is designed to be as concealed as possible, giving the idea of
a continuous landscape. The only visible mark of the viaduct will
be a small concrete band, which in the future will mostly be hidden
by water vegetation. On top of the viaduct there is a thick layer
of soil, allowing fauna and flora to pass over. |
