Chiswick Park Footbridge by Useful Studio with Expedition Engineering

摘要

This 120m-long steel bridge, part of the Chiswick Park Development, provides a key strategic link between Chiswick Business Park,the local underground station and the surrounding community. Described by the judges as a 'joy to walk over'and a'really nice experience', the £7.7 million scheme is a simple and elegant triple-span arched structure. Its engineering and material choices were driven by its context and required lifespan of 120 years. Self-finishing weathering steel, stainless-steel handrails and cumaru timber decking have been selected to adhere to a'zero-maintenance' strategy, as well as to complement the colours of adjacent tree canopies.
