AZPML's winning bridge design mimics the ripples of the Ticino river in Switzerland

建筑公司AZPML发表了一个竞赛的获奖作品，一座横跨瑞士提契诺河的桥梁。项目位于贝林佐纳区，提契诺河沿着阿尔卑斯的山脚流淌，连接了两座中世纪的结构建筑；Torretta塔位于桥的西端，中世纪的拱廊位于桥的东端。

Architecture practice AZPML has presented its winning entry in a competition to build a bridge spanning the river Ticino in Switzerland. Located in the Bellinzona region, the river runs along the foot of the Alps and will be connected via two preexisting medieval structures; the Torretta tower located to the western end of the bridge, and the medieval arcades located towards the eastern end.



该桥梁方案被称为Passerella ex-torretta，由一种振荡结构的几何形体定义。为了提升提契诺河流环境的自然美，该公司不仅打算尽量减少桥梁对自然景观的视觉影响，而且伴随着蜿蜒河流的涟漪也创造了一种视觉共振。该公司描述了桥体如何振荡，以及桥的整体有机结构仿照了山水设计，“我们努力捕捉美丽的河流景观释放的动态能量，桥梁的轮廓受到波浪的有机几何形状的启发，它由影响河流自然流动的力量所创造。”

Called ‘Passerella ex-torretta’, AZPML’s proposal is defined by an oscillating structural geometry. Aiming to enhance the natural beauty of the fluvial context of the ticino river, the firm’s intention was not only to minimize the visual impact of the bridge against the natural landscape, but also to create a visual resonance with the meanders and ripples of the river below. In their brief, the firm describe how the undulating arms and overall organic architecture of the bridge were designed to mirror the mountain river:‘in an effort to capture the dynamic energy unleashed by this beautiful fluvial landscape, the profile of the bridge has been inspired by the organic geometry of the waves created by the forces that sway the natural flow of the river.’



桥面——被夹在河两岸中世纪结构建筑的两端——最大的斜率是6%，能够让人们舒适地步行和骑行。V形的结构支撑在桥梁与土地交接的地方，旨在最大限度地减少转移到中世纪结构建筑的荷载。桥的几何结构反映出基地上各种不同空间的需求：当提高与周围环境的对话时它波浪状的支架位于底板之下，比如在桥上行走，到达底板的顶部，当桥横跨一个更险峻的环境时，行人的安全和保护措施都需要被考虑在内。

The deck — which is bracketed on either end by preexisting medieval constructs — has a maximum slope of 6% for comfortable pedestrian and cyclist access. The V shaped structural supports, seen where the bridge meets land, are designed to minimize the transfer of loads to the medieval architecture.The structural geometry of the bridge reacts to the various different spatial requirements of the site: its wave-like arms are located below the deck when an enhancement of dialogue with the surrounding context, such as when walking over the river, but moves to the top of the deck when the bridge spans a more aggressive environment, and the safeguarding and protection of the pedestrians is sought.
