It is to be read as inspirational and not as a thorough research. The replacement of the existing bridge and make it accessible for all including cyclists is crucial in this period of time. We recommend to take it further to really turn the bridge in a landmark that people will embrace, notice and therefore use and cherish. The recommended option has potential, but without taking al restraints in consideration, we see some other opportunities in integrating the bridge in it’s surrounding. INTRO QUICKSCAN Bridges play an important role in enhancing people’s sense of place and identity: they connect a city or landscape by creating places for people to meet. With our Dutch roots in mind, we build bridges that ensure sustainable transport within cities. There’s a reason why The New York Times headlined: “If you build it, the Dutch will pedal.” In our design philosophy The Rosland Park Pedestrian Bridge is part of it’s surrounding, not being the highway. The experience for the pedestrians and cyclists is leading. From the highway though, the bridge stands out as a landmark; an icon for Rosland Park. CREATING ADDED VALUE < Image showing the great asset of the parks in Medina The bridge design should be a clear and coherent design where approaches, the construction and supports are a total design making a ’Gesamtkunstwerk’. By making the approaches partly integrated into the landscape we think it can be more user friendly. The challenge is to prevent loadbearing walls that will be cladded with graffiti and to have the approaches separated from the highway traffic behind the sound barriers. The main span can be designed as an arch with an appealing design, or the deck can be made with a hollow box girder to create a slender elegant gesture. We even can imagine am arch that is used to create a landmark or even a lookout like we did with the Melkweg bridge. •Improve safety and mobility for all users •Create ADA compliant pedestrian and bike route •Improve connectivity between the residential neighborhoods and Rosland Park •Limit impacts on residential and park properties, trees, and road operations with an eye on long term operations and maintenance Direct access on the street. Limited space for the approach in relation to the preservation of the trees. Future sound barrier.Main span without pillars and in between the lanes and parallel road. Existing trees Existing path.Open meadow for integration approaches on the south side. QUICKSCAN MODELS GENERATED •The existing bridge only accessible for pedestrians. •Northern approach with limited space in neighborhood •Southern approach lands into a park •Recreational route providing access to the sports and playground facilities and connecting to the trail network. CURRENT SITUATION •The current bridge will be replaced •Connections and alignment is open for discussion •This should be evaluated in a bigger scale. •Since we’re not familiar with all constraints we don’t take not of property lines and limitations of underground infrastructure. REPLACEMENT •Projection of the Melkweg bridge; a bridge with an arch (incl. stairs?) combined with two (short) approaches. Remark •The approaches in this scheme will be too short / too steep. 1.THE MELKWEGBRUG •When we project the Melkweg bridge as a bridge with an arch combined with two approaches Remark •The southern approach interferes with a group of trees. •The length of the bridge is longer than perpendicular to the road. •The bridge landing is on a different location. 2.THE MELKWEGBRUG ALT. •The south approach is circling around the trees. •The approach can be partly created with ground body that is part of the park (see Dafne Schippersbrug) Remark •Check with property lines. •Check routing on a bigger scale. 3.THE MELKWEGBRIDGE WITH A TWIST I •The approach on the south side is enlarged. 4.THE MELKWEGBRIDGE WITH A TWIST II •Based on one other variant we project the bridge to the west which gives other opportunities. Remark •Property lines. •Routing on a bigger scale. •Impact on the highway . 5.EXTENDED •When creating a bridge that has its own alignment. •Views can make the route more interesting. Remark •Property lines. •Routing on a bigger scale. •Impact on the highway . 6.EXTENDED We believe that connecting places, people and culture is vital to meet the environmental and social challenges we face. As humans, we long for connection in everything we do. And NEXT accommodates this ambition, offering solutions through architecture, contributing to our surroundings with each project. NEXT architects is looking for new answers to relevant questions. Our projects explore the unknown and bring the future closer. We are the connecting factor between professionals and users. We specialize in finding creative solutions to add unique experiences to our living environment. People are always in motion: exploring, discovering, joining up. And whilst we travel, commute, relax and exercise, we engage with our ever-changing surroundings. Because just like us, environments are in constant flux. We give way to both our movements and our landscapes and cities, whilst enhancing them at the same time. With climate change and urbanization come new challenges. Now, more than ever, we need to manage our rivers and preserve the diversity of our flora and fauna. Our infrastructure and bridge projects contribute to the way people experience their environment and face these challenges, by explicitly engaging with their environment. We incorporate the notion of future transformation into the implementation, generating value now and in the future. CONTINUITY OF CHANGE DESIGN GOALS Now we more and more focus on working with nature and to use construction materials with a limited impact on our planet. Architecture that is useful, beautiful, and lasting of future generations. We now have several wooden bridges in development facing execution. Where possible we tend to design nature inclusive like we showed with the Vlotwateringbrug, one of our other references. It is fully dedicated to bats. CIRCULAR, DURABLE AND FLEXIBLE DESIGN GOALS To bring down the amount of car traffic to improve our carbon footprint and air pollution we focus on the quality and comfort of bicycle and pedestrian trails throughout the city and beyond. One concern is to create bridges for slow traffic with sloops that ideally are less steep than 2 to 3% like we did for the Dafne Schippersbrug and the Melkwegbrug. The width of the deck needs to be adjusted on the expected commodities. At the Dafne Schippersbrug that mend a width of appr. 7m for different types of bicycles (cargo bike, city bike, road bike and e-bikes) and pedestrians. Parapets are provided with handrailing and lighting is integrated.
