… this elegant pedestrian bridge is the work of CA-GROUP, an international architecture and urban planning collaborative triangulated between China, Spain, and Japan.

Drawing on China’s long bridge-building history, the designers recognized that “the bridge should provide for a dedicated space on the river, a room over the water, more than merely acting as an engineering device that solves a communication problem.”
