urban planning concept
the new danube bridge is not the pragmatically shortest connection between two riverbanks.
moving over a stretched arc, the view of the users is subjected to constant changes in perspective, unfolding linz as a panorama.
the solitary position of the brucknerhaus is addressed with appropriate distance and a receding bridge alignment.
bridge as event
the city as a kaleidoscope for the pedestrian.
the bridge as a seismograph of the city’s mood.
the changing light in the transparent windscreen reflects the city's emotional state.
a protective shield, striving toward the city, developing height and shelter with increasing distance from the riverbank.
