Plot 9 Footbridge
Taiyuan, China
This proposal opens up the perspective of the directing plan and integrates the natural river-focused elements into the composition. The new footbridge allows visitors to walk or cycle along the banks and allows for new combinations of walking and cycling to the theatre under construction.
The proposal is part of a wider development of the city with the Plot 9 masterplan. In fact, the idea behind this project is to reconcile the riverbanks and allow for walks outside the city and the urban environment. A new vision for the outskirts of Taiyuan consists of new infrastructures to allow green tourism with eco-villages, activities in the heart of nature, shops related to local know-how.
The construction of the new footbridge will open the entire parallel plane to the water in a central and transversal composition.
