The city of Ningbo is reappropriating the other bank of the Yongjiang River, where industries and port facilities are located. This extension gives the opportunity for a new urbanization of the river bank, very different, around several preserved buildings rather than on a clean slate. The bridge is grounded in this asymmetry, it enhances it, accentuates it to find its structural reason. This is more than an asymmetrical cable-stayed bridge; it is also a balanced, triangulated landmark that magnifies the asymmetry of the city, along the river. This structure bears two cantilevered footbridges that descend from the deck to the park in a way that calls to mind the equilibrium of a catamaran lying at anchor on the water.
