ドイツ 2021ドイツの木造橋
Located in the forests of Southern Germany, at the confluence of two historically important rivers, the circular design of this bridge heightens the connection to its surroundings, providing a sensorial experience of the forest, the water, and the public. The structure, composed of locally sourced timber planks that are laminated together, is integrated into a gesture that adapts to pedestrian, bicycle, and vehicular flows. The layers of this assembly extend to become an amphitheater-like set of steps that merge with the landscape, terracing down to the water’s edge. The landscape includes a small park that blends Japanese and German gardening traditions, while the railing, composed of mirrored steel and roughly hewn wood planks, reflects the regions’ historical timber culture.
