nine elms bridge
London, 2015
The bridge’s hybrid structure does not apply specific elements to structural roles (such as cable, mast, arch etc), instead these various structural roles operate through a cloud of components – a fuzzy hybrid. This blurred condition masks the structural logic and instead focuses attention on the experience of this immersive space.
This pedestrian and cycling bridge over the Thames in London blends between the typologies of arch, truss and cable, creating an innovative structural model that opens up new possibilities for architectural expression.
