Weesen Bridge

The proposal reveals at first intended to unite the two communities through a crossing, however, and to strengthen the two sides / edges, it was decided to create three times all the way:

  • Access and route above water;
  • Contemplation and meditation /
    gathering place;
  • Access route and onshore.

The union of these two communities is thus the articulation around this circular and pure element. Stop and check the immensity and beauty of an unparalleled and unique landscape. A moment of dialogue and meeting for those who can go through this footbridge. The proposal reveals at first intended to unite the two communities through a crossing, however, and to strengthen the two sides/edges, it was decided to create three times all the way: Access and route above water, contemplation and meditation/gathering place, access route and onshore. Thus, more than a bridge will be a stopping place, a moment of reflection on a landscaped context out of the ordinary. This route may represent the choice of a minimal object with unique features for a unique landscape, but in addition to a course on the water, has a function space living and breathing.
