NEXT architects设计的melkweg大桥位于荷兰历史古城purmerend,并与新区weidevenne区相联系。设计团队旨在建立一个能够有效工作,联系新旧区域的特别标示物。
这个巨大的拱形桥联系河岸两侧道路,引人注目的耸立在水上,高达12米,形成一道壮丽的城市景观。人们在高点可以充分领略城市的新旧风貌。桥体必须满足无障碍通道要求,同时也为自行车服务,但是若满足这两种的坡度要求,桥长要达到100米,因此建筑师把人行道和自行车道分开,这样步行人们可以爬上拱桥快速到达对岸。而全长48米的自行车道仿佛浮在水面上的甲板,遇到河上的船只通过,两侧的自行车道会从中间结合处分开,旋转到一旁,让船只通过。人行天桥重85吨,弯曲的拱钢上排布着130个台阶。两种类型的通道组合完整而开放,不仅材料和色彩统一,LED灯光的设计也将两者一起考虑,在夜晚形成美丽的风景。
The Melkwegbridge is located in Purmerend, the Netherlands. The bridge is part of the masterplan ‘De Kanaalsprong’ and connects the historic city center with the towns’ new district.
“The aim of the design team was to create a new area with a specific identity, which could work as a connector between the old and the new centre.” The most striking part of the bridge, designed by NEXT architects, is a massive arch which reaches the height of 12m above water level and stands in a continuous line with the Melkweg-road, thus offering an incredible view over the city. The high lookout is an attraction in itself and lets pedestrians fully experience the relation between the new and historic center of Purmerend.
Bicycles and remainder traffic cross the bridge using the 100m long bicycle deck. One bank is higher than the other so to achieve the gentle slope required for bicycles and wheelchairs, the team needed to create a 100-metre-long pathway. This deck was designed as a pendulum over the water, so that the slope could be limited to a minimum. Because pedestrian traffic was separated from cyclists, the direct line between the Melkweg-road and city centre could remain. Furthermore the 48m arch remains the fastest possible way to cross the water.
The pedestrian bridge weighs 85 tons, consists of 130 steps and is supported by a steel arch. The design makes it able to retain the spatial openness of the channel and its surroundings. Both bridge sections flow smoothly into each other and form one whole. This unity is enhanced by the continuity of materials and colors. In the edges of the bridge LED lines are applied that follow the contour of the bridge and guarantees a spectacular view on the bridge even after sunset.
