I meant that maybe you could integrate more your new bridge` to be part of the main bridge, even some small part of it.If you understand what I mean. Like some kind of entry hall inside the arch.Just an idea ;) sorry my bad english!
Ok clear, yes I agree, next step is to link the architectures and discover the relations, your English is not bad.
I understand your wish to keep the placement of your bridge, however it will be favorite to locate your proposal in one of the three locations proposed.
I also was thinking about such a concept. Interesting start. My problems were the location and the static of the construction. Cool start! :-)
Yes you right, the construction material is an issue in this concept
Your new slides are great; we can understand your potential architecture. Though at this point I feel you are getting far from your initial ‘Ponte Vecchio’ inspiration, in fact it is not a bridge but rather an island and it changes the whole urban and conceptual context. I think the urban relevance to a ‘Linz Ponte Vecchio’ is missing in your approach, and it will be beneficial to see the project in the urban setting, resolve the connection to the surroundings then go back to resolve the structural/material issues. Good luck.
Dear Tal, I partially agree on your comment : you right, the Ponte Vecchio idea as a bridge was my initial idea but after the half time feedback, it was my understanding that, give to the old bridge a new function, at its existing location, it was not an option, too expensive to be fully renovated or to build a new bridge, due to the bad conditions of the trusses, correct me if I am wrong. This solution it changes the whole urban and conceptual context as you said but, in my opinion, still keep the essence of “Ponte Vecchio” as a pedestrian precinct on the river, a place with shops and merchants,bars, even though is not a bridge.
Enough, I have no more time and it is not my goal to win, hope can be an inspiration concept for the city of Linz
I understand the concept quite well and it is very suitable to the port area. The word "bridge" do not always mean to connect to shores of a river... In Germany we have historical "See Brücke" and your concept reminds me, in principle, a lot to this ones... Great idea and execution!
Hi Lemo, I was unaware of the "See Brücke" this is the name I should have gave to this concept, do you know if I can change it? Very useful comment thanks.
I agree with Lemo and if you mean the title itself with renaming it, you can do it anytime.. Well done!
Interesting combination between the old parts, wood and glass! Wish you all the best!
