A proposed bridge design by MASSLAB, a studio in Porto, Portugal, envisions curving paths that would bundle together to traverse roughly 400 m of Foss-vogur Bay, connecting Reykjavik and Kopavogur, Iceland's two largest cities. As designed, the bridge would play a key role in the area's decarbonization plans. Dubbed the Intertwine Bridge, the structures design calls for a built area of 48,900 sq m. The bridge would comprise a "continuous composite (steel-concrete) deck resting on a pair of sinusoidal concrete arches," according to a project description from MASSLAB. The arches, in turn, would be "monolithically connected to driven-socket piles." The design's organic geometry was created to visually resonate with the bay's ever-moving water, per press materials about the design.
