Abstract:

This paper presents the conception and general design of a pedestrian bridge currently under construction in Forte da Casa, a residential area just north of Lisbon, Portugal. This bridge is located in a complex and quite uninteresting urban area and connects the “Forte da Casa” residential district to the Tagus Estuary Riverside Park. Hence it was designed as a single gesture materialized in a straight line that minimizes complexity and reduces the impact on the clean horizon of the river Tagus plain.
