  description influenced by the idea of the habitable bridge, the proposal creates spaces that offer flexibility and a unique relationship to the surrounding context. it evokes ideas expressed in the rialto bridge, venice, where the connection across the water is as much an urban space as it is a route from one side to the other. mediating between the basin edge and the surface of the central square, the proposal can be read as a manipulated piece of landscape that does not attempt to compete with the scale of the surrounding development.
