Abstract: |
The forest management body Groupement Forestier des Agittes, which was creating a discovery trail at La Joux Verte, commissioned Brauen Wälchli Architectes to design a suspended footbridge from which walkers could enjoy a commanding view over the restored ruins of the former dam cutting across the valley. The footbridge was built according to the principles of sustainable development. Renewable and recycled local materials and regional know-how were employed in its construction. |
