Living between water and sky

The proposed project for Seoul redefines the bridge as more than a crossing, envisioning a link between man, nature, and generations. Eleven large frames, each 150m x 150m, create connectivity while capturing potential elements of a future landscape. These frames incorporate renewable energy sources and ecosystems, housing adaptable presences that animate urban life. The bridge's mirrored form extends over the Hangang River, forming a floating aquatic city with functional pillars. This porous structure blurs water and sky, crafting an atmospheric architecture of coexistence. Pedestrian and vehicular paths run along the linear beam, accompanied by vertical elements that offer residences, services, and communal spaces, harmonising the city and nature.
