Avant-garde Metropolis: Skywalks and Pedestrian Bridges

A pedestrian bridge spanning a city avenue. The bridge is not straight but composed of several angled segments, one of which slightly elevates into a viewing platform. The railings are diagonal metal grilles, and one side of the bridge deck is planted with strip vegetation. Both ends of the bridge land on the second-floor plazas of buildings. People stop on the bridge to watch the traffic. Avoid: making the bridge a straight, standard steel overpass, using enclosed glass corridors, having no stopping space on the bridge deck, or having the bridge ends land directly on the sidewalk, obstructing pedestrian flow.

一座跨越城市大道的人行橋。橋身不是直的,而是由幾段不同角度的折線組成,一段稍微抬升成觀景平台;欄杆是斜向的金屬格柵,橋面的一側種著帶狀植栽。橋的兩端落在建築的二樓廣場。人們在橋上停下來看車流。避免:把橋做成直線的標準鋼構天橋、使用封閉的玻璃廊道、橋面沒有任何停留空間、讓橋的兩端直接落在人行道上阻礙動線。
