Designed by RO&AD Architects of the Netherlands and Belgium, this pedestrian bridge is an access route to the Fort de Roovere, part of the 17th century defense structures. The concept and execution is so unique that from afar, it is really non-existent. All that you see is a marked line in the landscape but it appears flat and it doesn't interrupt the views of the area. Only when looking and standing parallel to it, can you experience the depth and unique experience of walking under water, all without a drop of water on your clothing.
This project named "Moses Bridge". Located in Halsteren, Municipality of Bergen op Zoom, The Netherlands, scores the land and penetrates the water using processed timber to retain the walls and resist decay.
Interesting, isn't it?

I am fixated with the name "Moses bridge". As if the bridge materialized itself and seperated the river stream. What a sight.

hey octi nice post
ReplyDeleteI wonder what happens when it rain? the water level will rise right? will it fill the bridge?

it's nice bridge. beside the question from jonathan, i want to ask again, how about the water of the river? is it still flow or not flow anymore?
ReplyDeleteThank you octi, interesting post! I'm also questioning the same question with Jo and Hatta. In the second photo, it can be seen that the river is not that deep. Does the bridge intervene the river's flow?
ReplyDeleteI think if the bridge is invisible, it is hard for people to know that there is a bridge there. What do you think about it?
