This
project is the result of a restricted competition for a new pedestrian bridge
on the edge of the historical center of Milano. The location really is a the
treshold between very different urban contexts. Here the city change density and
start loosing monumental identity. On that point the symbolic value of the
architecture of a bridge becomes a great reference point for citizens, for its
role on a new landscape. On one side this bridge relates to the human scale of
those who daily will pass through it crossing the channel. But at the same time
it is proportioned to deal with the architectural elevations of the buildings
on both banks. Thus creating a medium between the vertical dimension of
surrounding architecturs and the orizontality of the landscape. From the
structural pointof view, it is a wooden passarel created through several ribs,
suspended inside a very thin wireframe (5 cm thick on a span of 15 meters).
