yova Seen from outside the bridge adds a third element to two buildings dating from the 1980s that is independent in formal terms, and spans a distance of 22 metres at a height of 17 metres above ground level. The light grey, metallic colour of the bridge’s external surfaces harmonises with the grey-green colouring of the two existing buildings. Side walls with large areas of glazing allow the structure of the bridge, which lies behind the glazing, to be seen from outside also and give it both lightness and transparency.
gebaut The dynamic lines of the support structure visible from outside through the glazed side walls make crossing the bridge a true spatial experience.
