無錫錫東中央公園步行橋設計（奧雅）

客　　戶：無錫高鐵站商務區管委會
項目地點：無錫
設計時間：2011年
　　
奧雅設計集團獲得江蘇無錫中央公園設計，并對其中標志性的跨河步行橋進行了設計。
　　
在規劃層面上，一條軸線斜跨整個中央公園，成為連接公園與此區域南北的最重要連接。此軸線南北斜跨九里河，步行橋架設于河中央。因為位置的重要性，步行橋無疑要成為整個公園的重要步行連接與標志物。
　　
整個步行橋一體化設計，流暢而富有動感的形體激活了整個中央公園。步行橋平面被設計為S形狀，為穿越公園的人們提供一個對景，并創造出視覺中心點，而非單一無聊直接看穿軸線兩端。同時步行橋給人們不僅僅提供了一個穿越的交通空間，中央局部放大，一體化的造型并提供雨棚，也提供一個駐足停留的觀景場所。橋身中部放寬，一個茶室便巧妙地布置于橋墩下，達到功能、空間、結構的整合。
　　
在中間島嶼的設計上，島嶼靠近茶室一側放寬，地形局部條狀隆起，創造出面朝中心湖的觀景坐席，提供給市民另一個良好的休憩、觀景場所。
　　
在奧雅設計集團建筑與景觀一體化設計的大旗下，此步行橋建筑與附屬景觀在造型、材質、功能、結構、空間等遵循一體化設計原則，橋與環境相得益彰，創造出優質的城市空間。

 L&A Design Group has developed an exciting contemporary bridge design as an architectural highlight of Wuxi Xidong Park, located in Jiangsu province, China. The bridge is planned to be the main connection between the north and south foreshores of the parks lake and allows visitors access to a small island destination that commands views over the water as well as café facilities and pocket gardens.

 The important position, jutting out over the central water body, encouraged a dynamic design response. The design team has envisioned a signature iconic structure that is attractive, has a flowing modern form expressing the importance of Wuxi’s relationship with water and is functional in its connections to the island, foreshores and allowing boats to pass underneath its elevation.
 
Designed as a whole volume, the bridge presents unique curves and a platform that widens as the bridge crosses the island. The platform creates a focus for the bridge maximizing views out across the lake under a shaded canopy, integrates ramp access to the island and forms an intimate space for the cafe underneath.

 To reduce the long linear scale of the bridge an "S" shape plan was created to provide closer vistas for people accessing the park from both sides of the lake. It is a bridge with a ‘twist’. As the bridge reaches its island destination the shape stimulates a dramatic interaction between architecture, landscape and water. Construction will utilize lightweight steel structures, light colored outer panel skins for a sleek look that can be elegantly lit up at night and polished timber detailing to tactile surfaces such as seating and railing.
