Appreciation towards ANNABAU for providing the following description:

这座85米长桥在德国巴格里亚Tirschenreuth的某池塘上越过，画出一道漂亮的弧线。ANNABAU事务所在2009年赢得了该桥的设计权，当时评审委员会称赞：设计精良。外观，材料，细节都很动人。简洁的造型与干净利落的技术让桥特点鲜明，十分突出。

The design for the Tension Band Bridge was a cooperative competition entry between Berlin-based firm for architecture and landscape ANNABAU and Schüßler-Plan structural engineers for the „Landesgartenschau Tirschenreuth 2013“ (Garden Festival Tirschenreuth 2013), and was selected for implementation. The sculptural bridge is destined for pedestrians and cyclists and spans its 85 meter length over the city pond.

钢构木身混凝土地基的桥梁连接旧城与岛屿，是一条为运动休闲提供便利的桥梁。木材排列组合的方式与当地的木建筑风格有呼应之处。

Urban situation

The new bridge connects the centre of the old town of Tirschenreuth via the „Schels Areal“ with the former island monastry „Fischhofinsel“, the new quarter “Lohnsitz“ and the adjacent area for leisure and sports.

Architecture

The exposed wooden body of the bridge is closely connected to the historical meaning of wood in the city of Tirschenreuth, evident in the city`s name. Additionally, it refers to the local architecture, where untreated wood is often found in vernacular construction.

A minimal substructure built from steel tension bands lying on three, small concrete bases, reveals its wooden sculptural body and demonstrates its contextual sensitivity.

Comments from the jury:

“The proposed bridge shows very high quality of design. Appearance, materials and detail design will be handled competently and engagingly in an exciting dialogue with the stone bridge at Fischhof. Also sensitive and of great value is the proposal to the overflow weir with a wooden water pipe organ. … The bridge displays visual simplicity, and simplicity of design alongside a technical specialty that will make it an attraction in itself“
