Theory

Nature and humanity thrive and nourish each other – nature allows a sense of calm and light allows expansiveness. The bridge acts as a meditative refuge and offers the chance to relax from modern life and immerse into the beauty of the natural world. It will temper the chaos of the urban environment through its diaphanous facades, natural light, all helping to create a calm ambience. Unity of people and sustainability should be the focal point in architecture. The bridge will be housing students who can relax through surrounding gardens and have a breath of fresh air,providing relief from the long hours spent working.
