Notes
The objective of the project coming out of the competition was to design
a structure that replaces the existing dam, which integrates itself unobtrusively
into the seemingly unending coastal landscape of the world culture
heritage site, and regains the maritime character of Mont Saint Michel.
The footbridge leads the pedestrian in a sweeping motion to the mountain,
presenting different perspectives for views along the way. Inspired
by the classical boating dock, thin steel columns that impact the water
flow of the tides only minimally, support the concrete slab. The minimal
column spacing of 12 m allows for a maximized reduction in the slab
cross-section, so that the bridge appears to float above the water. The
transparent wooden pavement of the footpath rests on steel consoles on
each side.
