BAU designs winding bridge in China as a "hybrid" of landscape and infrastructure

A snaking bridge that incorporates spaces for play, rest and planting connects two areas of wetland across Shanghai's Yuandang Lake, in this project by Brearley Architects + Urbanists.

The China and Australia-based Brearley Architects + Urbanists (BAU) designed the 586-metre beam bridge for cyclists and pedestrians as a "hybrid structure", blending architecture, infrastructure and landscape with the existing pathways and nature on the site.
