Intertwine Bridge

The bridge is conceived as a low, sinuous structure that touches the shoreline on both sides and unfolds as a sequence of paths, viewpoints, and pauses. Crossing the bay becomes an experience closely connected to the landscape, where movement is shaped by proximity to the water and changing perspectives along the route. In this sense, the bridge operates simultaneously as a connector between two municipalities and as a spatial anchor within the broader coastal network.

The design is organised through three interrelated conditions. An urban axis connects into the bridge from both sides, establishing clear points of arrival and departure. Along the waterline, a green path reinforces continuity beyond the crossing itself. A third layer introduces a set of small-scale programmes distributed along the shore, conceived to encourage people to stop, observe, and use the bay throughout the year. Together, these elements frame the bridge as an active piece of public space rather than a purely functional link.

Mobility is the project’s primary driver and is embedded in its spatial organisation. The bridge accommodates pedestrians, cyclists, and public buses, aligning environmental responsibility with everyday practicality. Its layout is conceived as a bundle of intertwined paths, generating a varied sequence of perspectives along the crossing and reinforcing a direct relationship with the water below.

Form and structure are developed as a single system. The deck hovers above the bay and bends in response to movement and speed, creating a new topography that can be traversed and explored. Structurally, the bridge is based on concrete arches conceived as a continuous wave line, with amplitude gradually reducing towards the shore. This logic supports the required slope of the deck while establishing a visual resonance with the bay’s surface and meandering edges.
