MORE INSPIRATION FOR OUR PROPOSED FOOT BRIDGE

This project was created by Bjarke Ingels Group from Denmark. The aim was to construct an inhabitable bridge by using apartments and office space as bridge piers. 


This complex yet simple and original idea employs a number of concepts that would suit our proposed footbridge. One of the main ones, is the idea of placing man maid ecological islands that run from the bottom of the various bridge piers. With the direct sunlight from the harbour and the use of the abundant water available these little islands could act as mini fresh food markets or social gathering spots with incredible views!


The arc divides allow water transport to travel in out of Circular Quay.
