Pedestrian Bridge in Holice

Idea projektu

The area of interest is located in the small town of Holice, Czech Republic. Aim of the project was a small pedestrian bridge over the local stream, which is creating an border between the older part of the town and the recent settlement developing in the northwestern area. Location of the bridge is an intersection between residential parts of the town which is used daily by locals, however, the present conditions of the area and the bridge are appalling. The conceptual idea is representing the urban development of the town as a border between the older and newer part of the town - it has a modern and dynamic shape, which is also resembeling a drawbridge which traditionally divided the fortified town from the area behind. It is a new element in the area and it supports the identity of Holice.

Popis projektu

The project contains the architectural solution of the pedestrian bridge and the closest neighbourhood with an accent on technical solution.

Technické informace

The main part of the bridge is a monolitic, reinforced concrete element. On its edge, a grating slab is placed. With glass guardings in this part the bridge creates an illusion of itself ending above the stream - exactly as a drawbridge.

Pedestrian Bridge in Holice

The project in terms of Architecture seems to me well achieved, it covers a need. Now, in terms of form, aesthetics and style, you chose orthogonal clean lines and neutral tones over an environment where the natural is predominant. The Natural represents curves and movement, there are no straight lines. Following this premise, my recommendation in terms of Architecture is to seek a more noticeable integration between both extreme concepts. The style is well achieved in terms of aesthetics and also highlights the idea. The railing I do not think is very necessary and in any case if it is considered necessary, it is advisable to make a simpler design so that it can be integrated. In terms of urban furniture and following the idea of ??integrating both concepts. The different elements participating in the composition are very isolated, and in conclusion the project can lose weight due to a lack of integration with the environment in general. The presentation of the information is complete and well illustrated enough to understand the idea in general.
