The Serpentine Eco-Bridge

Nestled between two mountains, The Serpentine eco-bridge serves as a vital connection for local animal migration and hiking trails. It takes a sustainable approach, utilizing natural resources, renewable materials, and eco-friendly construction techniques to minimize its ecological impact while maximizing its functionality and aesthetic appeal.

The concept is rooted in sustainability and integration with the surrounding natural environment. The serpentine form of the bridge, inspired by the contours of the mountains, creates a maximum length within the buildable area, providing ample habitat for local animals and plants. This design approach also offers an elongated natural and educational experience for pedestrians, allowing them to connect with nature while traversing the bridge.

The design boasts several unique features that set it apart as an innovative design. The sectional design, which is a natural result of the eco-friendly approach, features a wedged form that is ideal for plant depth and rainwater collection. The centered-column structure minimizes the impact on the ground during construction, preserving the natural ecosystem.

The materials and manufacturing processes of The Serpentine eco-bridge have been carefully chosen to prioritize sustainability and environmental friendliness. Renewable materials are used for the cladding with green-concrete, a sustainable alternative to traditional concrete, is used for the structure, minimizing the carbon footprint of the bridge.
