该项目由Christ & Gantenbein、WMM Ingenieure AG、Henauer Gugler AG和August + Margrith Künzel Landschaftsarchitekten AG组成的规划团队设计，位于瑞士阿劳的新阿雷桥，这既是现代的基础设施，也属于城市规划。新的结构取代了1949年的混凝土桥，有机地融入了阿劳独特的城市景观和阿雷河的自然环境，同时强调了该地区的交通网络。作为一个全面的桥梁和河岸设计，设计方案创造了一个有吸引力的城市空间，并以其独特优雅的弧形拱成为了新的地标。

Text description provided by the architects. The new Aare Bridge in Aarau, Switzerland, designed by the planning team Christ & Gantenbein, WMM Ingenieure AG, Henauer Gugler AG, and August + Margrith Künzel Landschaftsarchitekten AG, is both a modern infrastructure construction and a part of the city. Replacing a 1949 concrete bridge, the new structure blends organically into Aarau’s distinctive cityscape and the natural environment of the Aare River while strengthening the region’s transportation network. As a comprehensive bridge and riverbank design, the project creates an appealing urban space, and with its distinctive, elegantly curved arches, becomes a new landmark.







自罗马时代起，这个地方就有一座横跨阿雷河的桥——从历史上的城市中心越过卓尔莱恩到汝拉。这座桥曾多次被新的结构所取代，包括1848年的 "Ketten- brücke "和1949年的混凝土桥。因此，在桥体改造的竞赛中，着重强调新桥应适合其城市环境。获胜的设计通过与城市结构的联系和在历史悠久的老城区的入口处创造了公共空间而脱颖而出。今天，这座桥无缝地过渡到河岸，与河流和谐地连接在一起。

Since Roman times, there has been a bridge over the Aare at this location – from the historical city center over the Zollrain towards the north to the Jura. This bridge has been replaced several times by new structures, including the 1848 “Ketten- brücke” and a concrete bridge from 1949. As such, the competition which sought a replacement for the aging predecessor emphasized that the new bridge should fit into its urban context. The winning design distinguished itself through this very connection to the urban structure and the creation of an inviting public space at the entrance to the historical old town. Today, the bridge seamlessly transitions into the riverbank walls, harmoniously connecting it with the river.



新桥虽是传统的结构，在技术上采用优化的混凝土。它的灵感来自于阿尔罗的石头建筑、城墙边的中世纪房屋、附近的桥墩、挡土墙、坡道和河岸加固物的坚固性，其浅色的色彩保持了结构与周围环境的对话。同样，这座桥是一座现代的拱形钢筋混凝土结构，由于其特殊的几何形状，建筑师使用了较少的混凝土。五个不同宽度的拱门部分依靠位于河床中的老桥的两个沉箱，使它们得以重新使用。桥体建设的另一个方面是它的整体支撑结构，其中所有的组成部分，即支柱基础、支柱、拱门、侧翼、路基和护栏构建了统一、无缝的结构。所有的元素都参与了承重，共同构成了整个可持续的优化桥体结构。

The new bridge is both a traditional structure and a technically optimized, concrete construction. Inspired by the solidity of the stone buildings in Aarau, the medieval houses along the city wall, the nearby piers, retaining walls, ramps, and riverbank reinforcements, its light coloring maintains the dialogue of the structure with its surroundings. Equally, the bridge is a rational, modern archlike reinforced concrete construction, which employs concrete sparingly thanks to its specific geometry. The five spanning arches of different widths partially rest on the two caissons of the old bridge located in the riverbed, thus enabling their reuse. Another important aspect of the bridge construction is its monolithic supporting structure, in which all of the components – pillar foundations, pillars, arches, flanks, roadway, and parapets – build a uniform, seamless construction. All elements participate in load-bearing, leading to an optimized and thus sustainable structure.









该桥长119米，宽17.5米，有两条车道，两边有人行道和自行车道。在河岸小路横跨大桥的地方，开口提供了面向周围环境的横向视野，从而为每个沿着阿雷河散步、慢跑或骑自行车的人创造了具有吸引力的公共空间。新的河岸将大桥与城市连接起来，在这里，现有的长廊得到了强调和新诠释：在老城区一侧，有一个宽敞的城市长廊，还有树荫下供人休息的广场。在北部的河岸边，桥体被绿色的草地和丰富的植被装饰，显得很有活力。

With a length of 119 meters and a width of 17.5 meters, the bridge features two lanes, sidewalks on both sides and bicycle tracks. Where the riverbank path spans the bridge, large openings offer transverse views of the environs, thus creating attractive public spaces for everyone walking, jogging, or cycling along the Aare River. The new riverside links the bridge to the city where existing promenades are enhanced and newly interpreted: on the old town side, a spacious urban promenade with a square for lounging beneath shady trees is being created. On the northern riverbank area, the bridge is embellished with green meadows and local vegetation.



乍一看，新的阿雷桥似乎是一座传统的桥梁，但仔细研究，它是一个技术上优化的工程结构。它的建筑设计独具创新，为城市环境的演变做出了贡献，使城市对居民更具吸引力。

At first glance, the new Aare Bridge is a traditional bridge, but upon closer inspection, it is a technically optimized engineering structure. Its architectural design discerningly contributes another layer to the evolution of our urban environment, making the city more attractive to its inhabitants.
