Passerelle of the Future – Lego Bridge

Good really likes this new footbridge design by architect Michael Jantzen, who’s known for his eccentric designs (see this Transformer house for proof).

This pedestrian bridge is particularly cool because it looks like it’s made out of LEGOs. Seen from the roadway, that is, in elevation, the structure appears to be a large mass of the plastic bricks, with a stepped outline that could have been lifted from an 8-bit video game. According to Jantzen, the bridge, which is just a concept for now, can be made out of any material, though he’s thinking pre-cast concrete would be best.

  1. It seems a disaster for pedestrian and cyclist amenity to make people walk up & down innumerable steps; or cyclists ride a roller coaster of hills, to traverse what is essentially a level space between two embankments. Stupidity triumphs over function.
