| Abstract: |
Nesciobrug is a key feature of Amsterdam's new showcase suburb of IJburg. The scale of this cycle bridge and the constraints on its alignment pushed the designers towards a dramatic configuration. This paper discusses ways in which the impact of the basic concept was reinforced by adapting its setting and by ensuring that the details were appropriate. The emphasis is on achieving dramatic effect through simplicity. |
