Bridge

Bridge is a basic type of physical space connection.
The bridge designed by architect is not only the most basic embodiment of infrastructure connection, but also incorporates architect’s multi-level thinking about city public space, architecture, landscape and art. Architects design bridge with multiple functions to provide people with a public space to stay in, and design bridge as a landscape per se to invigorate the space. Bridge structure is not only the basis of construction, but also a way of expression with function and form. Presenting different site characteristic and social significance in different geographical environment, bridge persistently bears passenger flows as a place with enriched memory for pass and stay.
The special exhibition of bridge aims to showcase architects’ diverse thinking about bridge in a broader context, and explore in depth the multiple possibilities of infrastructure construction in positively shaping urban public space. In this connection experiment, from specific location connection to public space centralization, further to social culture dialogue, bridge has broken through its inherent form and connotation and extends in line with the invisible and vivid mindset.
