Zabalgana Footbridge Over Madrid-Irún Railroad in Vitoria

The Zabalgana footbridge allows the connection between the two sectors of this new neighborhood of Vitoria which is cutted by the railway line that runs between Madrid and the french border in the Basque Country. The design here presented was selected from more than 25 proposals submitted in an open design competition. The solution integrates the budget constraints, the different elevation levels associated with preexisting urban development in both sectors, constructability, social demands and aesthetic. It is, in our opinion, a good example of creating a public space based on a rational use of available resources, integrating aesthetic at a moderate cost into the solution.
