ARCHWAY

This pedestrian bridge is designed as a structural response to its natural context, following the topography of the landscape in both its plan and elevation. The form emphasizes movement and flow, with its curved profile reflecting the slopes and contours of the site.

At the upper end, the bridge orients toward Sherman Falls, framing a dramatic view of the waterfall, while the lower end focuses back toward the creek’s rear basin, strengthening its contextual connection. The main structural system comprises a steel frame with a curved canopy that provides both stability and a sheltered path for users. This canopy’s gracefully arched elements further highlight movement and guide pedestrian circulation across the span. The design enables users to appreciate their surroundings while navigating the crossing, fostering a strong interaction between the structure, landscape, and experience.
