Vidzeme的Gauja国家公园面积超过917平方公里，是拉脱维亚最大的国家公园，拉脱维亚人口密度低，并且拥有广阔天然森林区域的国家公园。公园的名字来自Gauja河谷，是拉脱维亚最早的国家公园，它建造于1973年，其历史可以追溯到19世纪。

东欧有许多国家公园，而Gauja国家公园的景观多样，有山坡、泉水、山谷、洞穴，附近还有砂岩和白云岩悬崖，这是当地最大的旅游景点。这里拥有各种野生动植物，还拥有500多座历史和文化古迹，如城堡、庄园、教堂、水车和风车等等。

Gauja国家公园人行桥竞赛，是公园成立45周年的纪念性活动。由于行人天桥会悬挂在道路上，因此必须足够高，让卡车和公共汽车能够通过，另外它还必须能承受大量行人步行的重量，并具有“欢迎”、“再见”标语以及公园信息台。

参赛者的任务是思考方案设计的可行性，确保方案符合国家公园的身份特征，迎接游客，同时进行公园的展示。

Spanning over 917 km2, the Gauja National Park in Vidzeme is the largest national park in Latvia, a country known for its low population density and vast areas of natural forests. The park takes its name from the Gauja River Valley and was one of Latvia’s first national parks, established in 1973, but with a history of tourism supposedly dating back to the 19th century.
With so many national parks in Eastern Europe, the Gauja National Park stands out for its varied landscape, featuring slopes, springs, valleys, caves, as well as the sandstone and dolomite cliffs that are one its biggest tourist attractions, all located within close proximity. Full to the brim with diverse wildlife and plant species, it is also home to more than 500 historic and cultural monuments such as castles, manors, churches, watermills, and windmills.
The Gauja National Park Footbridge competition is sourcing designs for a footbridge to serve as a symbolic entrance to the park in honor of its 45th anniversary. As the footbridge would be suspended over a road, it must be high enough for trucks and buses to pass underneath it. It must also be capable of bearing the weight of high volumes of pedestrian foot traffic, and should feature welcome and goodbye signage as well as park information stand.
Participants are tasked with thinking about the buildability of their designs, and ensuring that they correspond with the context of the national park and being welcoming to visitors, while at the same time displaying.
