Almost as if an invisible flying bridge

Tomáš Haulík

Annotation

The footbridge brings a visual experience from a visible load-bearing structure inspired by the Da Vinci Bridge designed for Istanbul and a pioneering material - transparent wood. This material is 90% transparent, stiffer and stronger than wood, and its production process is improving every year. To this day, it has never been used as a building material, but in the future it could become quite common with new innovations. This bridge could serve as one of the first buildings in the world where its qualities would be tested. By combining the gentle curves of the supports, location in a natural environment and interesting material, the bridge should give a calming impression, encouraging you to stop, slow down and think for a moment.
