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 Swan Boat Floating Bridge has a total length of 153 meters and is designed with the concept of “swans”, symbolizing the pure and flawless, loyal, indomitable, and ambitious characteristics of Venice. The boat’s color scheme adopts a refreshing sky blue and flawless pure white (symbolizing purity and nobility), with local embellishments of bath fire red (symbolizing that through continuous effort, refinement and change, one can become outstanding and transform into a phoenix of bath fire).
Floating bridge function: pedestrian and vehicular passage
The cross-sectional layout of the standard section of the Swan Boat Floating 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.
epilogue
The Venice Swan 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.
