Fußgängerbrücke / Architektonická soutěž o návrh Komenského most

New bridge in such exposed location always becomes the symbol of the city. In our proposal, however, not in terms of iconic architecture in opposition to the context, but as a unique element which is most always harmoniously complementary whole urban structure.
The proposal respects the original urban axis leading from the square of the Czechoslovak army towards the elementary school located on the other side of the river Labe. In addition, it looses one meter of its width in the direction out of the centre to support the original idea of the Komenského street. The bridge deck with its wavy shape naturally connects to the existing pillars and bridge carrying structure is designed underneath. Komenského street continues smoothly without visible barriers towards the location Na ostrově. For undisturbed views also helps slim railing design . The curve of the bridge gently responds to its environment and its subtle profile supports long-distance views towards the city's panorama with the dominant of the church st. Nicholas. At the same time the chosen solution provides the required height underneath the bridge for communication and safety in case of extraordinary flood activity.
