An asymmetrical pedestrian footbridge: "within a ring road system, this element allows the user to orient himself in relation to the city." The footbridge takes support from the countryside - embedding - to land on the other side, towards the city - articulation.
The footbridge was constructed using oxy-cut steel sheets shaped by cold bending. The double curvature and variation in inertia shape the distribution of forces, visualizing the static scheme. The structure showcases the asymmetry of the structure oriented within the landscape.
