Pedestrian bridge in France
法國人行天橋
When new TGV rail lines were built from France’s
Atlantic coast through La Roche-sur-Yon,
a new pedestrian bridge was needed to cross the tracks safely.
New York-based architect Bernard Tschumi and
French firm Hugh Dutton Associés rose to the challenge with
this beautiful tubular lattice bridge that connects the old center of
the town with the newer districts across the tracks.
The new pedestrian bridge was inaugurated in
February and now stands as a striking contemporary statement for the town.
當新的TGV鐵路線從法國的Atlantic 通過永河畔拉羅什大西洋沿岸,
此時就需要新的人行天橋,以安全地穿過軌道。
紐約的建築師伯納德·屈米和法國公司達頓休ASSOCIES負責將
這個美麗的管狀格橋連接了老年活動中心與該鎮整新地區。
新的人行天橋在二月揭牌成為該鎮引人注目的現代建設。
Inspired by the work of Gustave Eiffel,
the new footbridge, is composed of lateral beams with a
diagonal mesh of small plate strips that are riveted together.
Pedestrian bridges over railways require lateral protection for
both the train as well as the pedestrians, hence the tubular structure.
The bridge spans 67 meters with a concrete deck and uses 130 tons of steel.
It was painted bright red on purpose — the color was chosen to
“emphasize the urban significance of the bridge as a pedestrian vector.”
Gustave Eiffel對此新天橋的工作靈感為.用小板條對角線網鉚接在一起.而組成的橫向梁。
鐵路行天橋以管狀結構保護行人,該橋跨越67米用混凝土橋面,並使用130噸鋼材。
它塗了鮮紅 - 顏色是為強調"新橋樑的行人載體新的鮮活城市的意義。”
