About Twist Bridge Jembatan Penyeberangan Orang

Twist Bridge adalah jembatan penyeberangan orang yang dibangun di antara Gunung Huagai dan Gunung Fengling di Shunde, Foshan, Tiongkok. Bentuknya terinspirasi oleh selembar kertas yang dipuntir, dan lantai jembatannya berbelok di udara bagaikan sehelai pita. Pagar pengaman yang berputar tidak menghalangi pandangan. Sebaliknya, pagar tersebut menuntun pejalan kaki ke arah lanskap kota yang terbuka. Panjang bagian dalamnya 65,588 meter, panjang bagian luarnya 71,191 meter, dan lebarnya 3 meter. Twist Bridge menghubungkan jalur pejalan kaki kedua gunung tersebut dan menawarkan penyeberangan yang lebih aman di atas jalan raya di bawahnya.

Unique Properties: The design inspiration of Liang Street Huagai Mountain Pedestrian Overpass comes from a twisted paper. It is a connecting station between different spaces in the city, providing people with safer travel, expanding the city's mountain walking path, and allowing the two mountains to be connected. At the same time, it is also the city's landmark, which can make tourists remember it through its unique shape.
Dimensions & Packaging: The inner length of the bridge is 65.588m, the outer length is 71.191m, and the width of the bridge is 3m.
Tags: Pedestrian overpass, Transportation building, city gate, living environment
Production Technology: The north section is equipped with structural columns, the thickness of the overpass structure is about 450mm, and the thickness of the inclined plane structure is about 200mm, which makes the bridge deck lighter, the structural stability is high, and the cost is relatively low. But this will have some impact on the overall shape.
Design Challenge: In terms of design concept, the concept of the entire pedestrian bridge is derived from seemingly ordinary but mysterious paper flowers. This unique twisted design creates a new form of space packaging and enclosure. Its dynamic shape is like a ribbon dancing in the air, adding a unique and bright color to the city skyline.
Research: As a place where people can get close to nature, Huagai Mountain walkway attracts tourists and citizens to visit, relax, and exercise, enhancing the city's vitality and improving the construction of the city's natural environment. In terms of traffic flow, the walkway has multiple entrances and exits. It is connected to the surrounding roads, commercial areas, scenic spots, and residential areas, expanding the walking range of tourists and citizens, increasing the number of path options, and making Huagai Mountain a pedestrian transportation hub for people to use. Our bridge construction site is located between Huagai Mountain and Fengling Mountain, both of which are recreational areas for citizens in the city. There is a highway between the two mountains, and the average height difference between the edges of the two mountains and the road is 6.2 meters. To connect the activity space between Huagai Mountain and Fengling Mountains, enhance the accessibility of Huagai Mountain walkway, and improve the spatial experience of citizens and tourists, we built a bridge at this location.
Inspiration: From the design concept, the concept of the entire pedestrian bridge comes from a seemingly ordinary but mysterious paper. This unique twisted design creates a new form of space packaging and enclosure. Its dynamic shape is like a ribbon dancing in the air, adding a unique and bright color to the city skyline.
Project Duration: Completed in October 2021, located in Fengshan Middle Road, Shunde District, Foshan City, Guangdong Province, China.
Operation Flow: When pedestrians walk on the bridge, the rotating fence is cleverly formed. It is not a visual barrier, but rather like a thoughtful guide, cleverly guiding people to view the open and boundless city landscape. With the movement of vehicles, the change of different distances and angles between the overpass and vehicles makes drivers capture different styles of overpasses every time they look up.
