– Bridge as exquisite and luminous object –
Project ; the prevention fence netting for an overpass on railway.
The fence is required merely for prevention of throwing out, but we tried to make the bridge in the city on what the people crossing this can feel stunning atmosphere.
The fence netting consists of curved surface with a delicate rhythm as wrapping around the entire bridge.
To achive this exquisiteness, the curved frames are configured by CFRP and cast aluminium complementing each other. In the daytime, sunshine and brilliance by reflecting the fence netting and the ceramic tiles as floor finish of sidewalk imprint the appearance of the people on the landscape of city. In the night, the fence netting and the sidewalk lit by LED lighting as luminary wall envelope gently the people. Viewing from afar, the bridge appears as a graceful light object, the people and vehicles on it are represented as silhouette like as over the bright white lace curtains.
