Although autonomous, the wooden footbridge project in the Bohinj Alpine valley in Slovenia is a recent addition to the cycling route network which had been realized a decade ago. It connects the banks of the Sava Bohinjka River and thus forms an "infrastructural junction" of traffic flows (road, cycling route, footpath and waterway). It is located next to a river bend where one side remains relatively natural while the other one is already "urbanized" through various interventions. The height difference between the banks is 3m.
With our composition we tried to balance out this dynamic, asymmetrical situation with the calm, straight line of the bridge that connects their differences to form one longitudinal horizon throughout which the picturesque scenery of the surrounding mountain peaks can be experienced. With its architectural presence the covered bridge is voluminous yet gentle; it serves to mark, ameliorate and reconnect the area.
The covered bridge typology appears throughout the Alpine region. Our interpretation of the “house/hayrack above water” is not a case of “mimesis” of a historical form but rather its contemporary reinterpretation that aims to form one harmonious whole.
The central volume of the bridge is supported at three points. The load-bearing structure consists of four steel beams running the length of the bridge. The intermediate pillar, which rests on a rock in the river bed, is an ellipsoid concrete form, carrying steel "branches" that support the beams. The rest of the bridge is built from local larch wood.
From above, the bridge is an asymmetric "Y" shape. The side arm is oriented towards the nearby mountain and allows for a fluid transition over the bridge. On the left bank, a walkway was added to connect the level of the bridge to the no-flood-zone on the ground. On the right bank, a green resting area with wooden urban furniture was designed.
