Gallery: Incredible Footbridge Additio...

 
The clear panes which adorn both sides and much of the roof infuse the interior bridge with natural light, while views of the forest are maximized without obstructing the natural order of the site. The bridge has very much become an extension of the forest.

A stunning, modern, yet organic design, Cano’s work proves that beauty and innovative architecture can come on a budget. The new additions feature repurposed pine once used as framework in T3arc’s previous projects and a translucent exterior constructed with clear plastic panels retrieved from an industrial landfill.

By reevaluating the end use of these discarded materials, Cano’s choice of plastic panels not only proved to be economical, but the unique sheen created by the plastic amplified the surroundings as much as the interior.
