Appreciation towards Yaohua Wang for providing the following description:

阿姆斯特丹步行桥位于荷兰的Amstel河上, 相邻Hermitage Amsterdam博物馆. 桥的功能包括了一条自行车道, 一条人行道, 咖啡店, 自行车停泊区域和办公室. 步行桥的设计试图延续和发展之前项目对于形式和结构风格的探讨. 在这个项目中,使用环形的钢结构框架, 来达成桥的跨度上对于结构的要求. 同时这种环形的结构也为形式创造了新的可能, 多个不同层次的表皮与环形的钢结构互相缠绕, 并且在互相缠绕的过程中创造了开口和能源机械构件的连接点. 同时,步行桥的功能区, 如咖啡店, 自行车停泊区, 被这些环形的层次包裹其中. 步行道和自行车道在主流线上互相分开, 只在被包裹的功能区中产生联系.

Amsterdam bridge iv is aware of the simple functionality and sculpture of a bridge.

Therefore, every part of this design contributes to the unique aesthetic as seen in the spiral steel structure. The design includes two independent pathways, specifically for pedestrians and bicyclists, that run parallel to each other through the bridge. These pathways meet at the center of bridge, which behaves as the functional hub. This central location provides a sheltered space in which a slower pace can be obtained contrary to the fast movement surrounding the bridge. Inside this hub, the elegant form of this bridge can be appreciated.

F117 jet fighter plane is an very interesting example about the relationship between performance and aesthetics. The unique form of F117 jet fighter plane came directly from the need of hiding from radar wave, rather than from air dynamic aesthetics. The Amsterdam bridge also tries to achieve this relationship. In this case, the idea is the relationship between structural performance and aesthetic. The spiral structure provides an unique structural ability, allows the bridge to span across the river, also allowing the tectonics of several layers of spiral surfaces to interlock with each other. Meanwhile, these interlocked surfaces and structures wrap around the function hub, provide shelter with openings.

The solar and wind power plants are constantly feeding energy into the program for the bridge. They reduce the bridge’s carbon footprint, also, they create a noise in its profile line, making the bridge appear easier to blend into its urban context.
