Abstract:

English Heritage published a design competition for a footbridge to offer a better accessibility to the Tintagel Castle. The new bridge links the mainland with the island, the real world to the imaginary world of legends. Its setting is extraordinary, remote. The context is therefore deeply reflected in the bridge design and construction. The bridge looks like and arch, but tells so much more after a closer look. It leaves a void, between present and history, reality and imagination.
