Appreciations towards Mimesis Architecture Studio for providing the following description:

乌溪廊桥坐落于江苏省宜兴市丁蜀镇。丁蜀镇地处太湖之滨，是一座有着千年历史和深厚文化底蕴的江南古镇，盛产优质紫砂陶土，有发达的现代制陶工业，并活跃着大量的来自民间的传统紫砂手工艺人。丁蜀竹材资源丰富，并保留着精湛的竹材加工工艺。

Wuxi Harbour Bridge lies in Dingshu Town, Yixing, Jiangsu Province. Dingshu Town is located on the bank of Taihu, conjoining Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Anhui provinces. Dingshu Town is an ancient town located to the South of the Yangtze River, possessing a history of over thousand years with profound cultural heritage. This town teems with time-honored purple clay in superior quality and is famous for its well-developed modern pottery industry. Large numbers of ingenious handicraftsman skilled in craftwork of pottery work here. Aside from purple clay, here is also crawling with bamboos, and exquisite processing technology of bamboo is preserved.

廊桥长近百米，横跨乌溪港，直面太湖，两端分别连接太湖骑行绿道和洑东兰山颐养休闲区，是太湖流域重要的景观节点。

The bridge is nearly 100-meter long, stretching across Wuxi Harbor, two ends respectively connecting the Taihu Greenway for cycling and strolling, and the recreational area in Lanshan, Fudong, standing as a significant landscape node in Taihu basin.

▼ 鸟瞰图，桥梁呈优雅的弧线，bird view, the bridge is slightly curved

在既有的桥梁结构基础上，设计了桥面和维护部分。场地中，山、水、雾、风的意象被投射在桥的造型中。

Based on the existing bridge structure, the deck and fence parts are designed. The intertwining images of mountain, river, fog and wind fabricating the site are projected onto the form of the bridge.

▼ 远观廊桥，维护部分有机的形态反映了自然的意象，view of the bridge from distance, the organic fence parts providing a sense of nature

建造采用了竹模板浇筑桥面两侧的栏板，在混凝土上映衬了竹材的纹理。起伏的钢结构以合掌的方式从两侧围合起桥上供行人和车辆穿行的空间。

Bamboo is employed as formwork in concreting the handrails of the deck so as to imprint the unique texture of bamboo tubes. The undulant steel structure sprouting from both sides of the bridge, shaped like clasping arms, encloses the space for passengers and vehicles to pass through.

钢结构间安装有可拆卸更换的竹网，视觉上通透、轻盈，为桥面带来丰富细微的光影变化。行人可沿烟波浩渺的太湖之滨步上廊桥，隔篁闻水，步移景异。

Removable and replaced bamboo nets are installed within the steel structure, which assures the low cost in maintenance, also the light-weighted and transparent visual effects. The patterns of bamboo nets enliven the rich and delicate light-shadow variations. Pedestrians can step onto the bridge alongside the bank of misty and ripply Taihu, hearing gurgling water through bamboo nets, enjoying shifting scenes along with every walking step.

▼ 步移景异，竹网在桥面投下阴影，the view changes while walking, with bamboo fence leaving various shadows on the bridge

竹网采用的碳化竹，保留了原有竹材的形态和质感，同时具有更好的耐候性和结构稳定性，且造价低廉。掌握传统竹材加工技艺的竹匠和钢结构施工队现场配合，逐点定位，完成现场加工安装。

Bamboo nets are produced with carbonized bamboo, preserving the original form and texture of primordial bamboo, meanwhile, guaranteeing better outdoor weather ability and structural stability. With the on-site cooperation between bamboo craftsmen who master the traditional processing technology of bamboo and the construction team for steel structure, positioning point by point, the fence parts are successfully processed and installed on the site.
