dublin bridge competition

dublin, ireland

architect: repp design + construction

materials: coated steel, glass, aluminum, recycled wood

Our entry for the Ballsbridge-Dodder Pedestrian Bridge Competition in Dublin, Ireland is a simple, elegant span, with minimal impact on the site. Uniting both social & structural conditions this bridge provides a place to gather / converse or rest / reflect along the deep rails made from recycled wood while standing on a glass floor over the river. The structure of the bridge acts in harmony with its occupants - the cadence of the support arms slows and extends outward as you move towards the center of the bridge allowing the visitor to slow and experience the vista & energy from the river.
