Project Background
The project is located on an artificial island in a lagoon along the Adriatic Sea in northeastern Italy, Venice. The local water network is dense, but communication is inconvenient.
Linking style: blending local elements
The gondola pontoon bridge has a total length of 153 meters and is designed with the concept of “elegance and romance”, reflecting Venice’s famous title as the romantic capital. The two ends of the boat are upturned, resembling a crescent moon hanging in the sky, imitating the shape of the official hat of the Governor General (the highest administrative officer of the Republic). Bow: The six forward square teeth represent the six districts of Venice. One backward square tooth represents Judeca Island. (In history, it was a large palace garden area in Venice.)
Floating bridge function: pedestrian and vehicular passage
The cross-sectional layout of the standard section of the Gongdora boat pontoon bridge deck is 2m (sidewalk)+2m (bicycle lane)=4m, divided into two linear lines of cycling and slow driving, with multiple scenarios and atmospheres intertwined on the bridge deck.
The Venice Gondola Boat Floating Bridge is a dynamic integrated floating bridge that integrates transportation, landscape, and culture. The construction of floating bridges maintains continuity in the transportation and ecological landscape of artificial islands in the lagoon, forming a harmonious and unified slow traffic system, thereby improving the environmental quality of the artificial island area in the lagoon. Its construction meets the needs of local residents for tourism, leisure, and sightseeing.
