Pedestrian Bridge in Paris
The current design
proposal is a pedestrian bridge to be located on the River Seine in Paris near
the Palais du Louvre. Its objective is to synthesize an architectural response
from the cultural, urban, and contemporary movements of Paris, and transport a
new experience on the Seine River unique to its surroundings; including to
synergize tectonic form with light and surface nuances.
The bridge consists
of two structural layers, one for passage crossing, and another for the surface
envelope that produces a series of affects to the surrounding landscape. The
primary structural support for the pedestrian bridge is an aluminum track
system of double bracing that composite a supporting system that can be
integrated and attached to various mechanisms for lighting, surface
articulation, and additional supporting structures. The secondary is a structural
tubing comprised from a network of triangulated frames and panels. This
triangulated truss system is designed to carry and distribute weight over long
spans. Together being joined and connected to the track system, it creates a narrow pedestrian path that is capable to span over the
Seine River in Paris.
The tectonic
envelope that rests on the support system is composed of a light weight carbon
fiber mesh and carbon fiber panel system painted with matte white automotive
paint. Within the curving shell is inlayed with a black tinted hairline
stainless steel for various patterning and reflections. Also embedded are LED
lighting strips that flow throughout the surface creating surface articulations
for fluxion effects and synergized architectural responses to the body and
environmental context. The composite shell is attached to the track system but
is primarily supported by the “Y” shaped columns below. The shape is used to
emphasize lightness and openness, to give the overall hybrid structure a
quality of movement and structural performance.
Designing a bridge
over the River Seine calls for an intervention that captures the moment in time
of structural and aesthetic capabilities, with regard to the historical context
and urbanism of Paris; movement and light are the characteristics and material
pallet in which to engage or manifold into an architectural response. The
Fluxion Bridge gives pedestrians an experience and view of the city that will
heighten, frame, and include the synergized flows of Paris along the Seine
River. By using LED lights, projections, and screens for digital art and
information, it emphasizes the digital “melee” within cites, but places them in
a vortex of sensuous tectonic play of structure, surface, and synthetic glowing
movement.
