As footbridges span their way, they also weave together culture, nature, memories, and above all, the hearts of people.
Infused with the essence of the site’s storied past and vibrant culture, we seek to craft a fresh park that binds neighboring communities, furnishes a vibrant public space for families and children; a destination that beckons tourists and showcases local identities, and a verdant realm that binds people with nature.
The “rainbow bridge” system links neighboring blocks and soaring heights; the bridge itself is a realm of wonder and a haven of joy. We’ve also crafted a series of “clouds play” structures to endow the park with an array of impressive amenities.
CONNECTIVITY
Through the implementation of the “rainbow bridge” system, we have created a hub that effectively links adjacent blocks, streets, and various levels within the site. We have been able to achieve a gentle slope of 1:20 throughout the site without the use of steps, promoting accessibility and inclusivity. This connection between the various elements within the site also pays homage to the rich history and culture of the surrounding district. By integrating amenities inspired by the local amusement park, the bridge system has become a powerful expression of the district’s unique identity.
ACCESSIBILITY
The park offers multiple entrances along the streets. The footpath is thoughtfully designed to be easily navigable, ensuring that everyone, including those with mobility issues, can access and enjoy the park.
INCLUSIVITY
Our goal is to create a space that is inclusive and accessible to all members of the community, promoting a sense of belonging and enhancing the overall quality of life in the area.
SUSTAINABILITY
By incorporating rain gardens and bioswales to manage stormwater runoff and improve water quality. We also incorporate renewable energy sources like solar panels to reduce the park’s carbon footprint.
BIOPHILIC DESIGN
To embrace biophilic design approach, we incorporate native plant species that thrive in the city’s subtropical climate, creating a lush and biodiverse landscape that supports local wildlife.
MATERIALITY
We create elegant and sustainable structures that blend seamlessly with their natural surroundings. UHPC’s unique properties allow us to design footbridges that are not only functional but also visually striking, with slender and graceful forms that enhance the pedestrian experience.
