这座有趣的桥来自荷兰的NEXT建筑事务所，他们曾给gooood分享过另一座有趣的桥：Melkwegbridge。

NEXT建筑事务所着迷于莫比乌斯环，莫比乌斯环由德国数学家莫比乌斯（Mobius，1790～1868）在公元1858年发现：把一根纸条扭转180°后，两头再粘接起来做成的纸带圈，具有魔术般的性质。普通纸带具有两个面（即双侧曲面），一个正面，一个反面，两个面可以涂成不同的颜色；而这样的纸带只有一个面（即单侧曲面），一只小虫可以爬遍整个曲面而不必跨过它的边缘。这种纸带被称为“莫比乌斯带”。

这座桥便是莫比乌斯环的一种延伸发展。不过相当可惜的是，人不是昆虫，咱们不能倒着把所有的路径溜达一遍，所以这座桥出现了一个看不见的“断点”，虽然视觉上和理论上是畅通无阻的，但无论如何无法前行。这就是“最近的远处”或者“最远的近处”吧。

被设计师成为“弹性透视”的桥是博伟达市政府委托的一个当地艺术项目，位置在荷兰鹿特丹郊外，旁边有一座本地的“五角大楼”。桥体占据良好地段，可以观赏鹿特丹的天际线和饱览无限长空。

这么远又这么近的不可能通行桥在德国也有一座，是曾经给大家介绍的宛如过山车刺激的Tiger & Turtle。

A rusty steel ring is gently draped upon a grass hill in Carnisselande, a Rotterdam suburb. It’s a giant circular stair leading the visitor up to a height that allows an unhindered view of the horizon and the nearby skyline of Rotterdam. The path makes a continuous movement and thereby draws on the context of the heavy infrastructural surrounding of ring road and tram track. While a tram stop presents the end or the start of a journey, the route of the stairway is endless.

NEXT architects designed the stair for a local art plan commissioned by the municipality of Barendrecht . Because of its structure, the shape of the object is hard to perceive; every perspective generates a new image with which the design is not only a contextual but also a very literal answer to the given context of the local art plan: an Elastic Perspective.

Based on the principal of the Möbius strip, the continuous route of the stair is a delusion: “We are intrigued by the Mobius strip, by its characteristic of having only one surface, no top nor bottom. When used as a path, it suggests a continuity, but crossing that path is – at least physically – an impossibility. It’s that kind of ambiguity that we recognized in the inhabitants of this suburb: mentally they still feel very much connected to their mother town Rotterdam, but in daily life they are definitively disconnected. With the Mobius strip stair we offer them a glimpse towards the Rotterdam skyline, but to continue their trip, they have to turn backwards, facing the context of their everyday life, Carnisselande.” Rotterdam, by tram just minutes away, but in perception and experience tucked behind infrastructure and noise barriers; far away, so close.
