We have massive structures being built everyday, but very few of them have revolutionary social significance as the Pedestrian Bridge constructed by American architect Bernard Tschumi and French firm Hugh Dutton Associes. The bridge has opened in La Roche-sur-Yon in France, where it connects the old centre of Atlantic coast town with newer districts across the TGV railway tracks. The massive tubular lattice bridge is a collaboration between the fields of engineering and architecture, and expresses a dynamic vector in both its usage and urban perception. The Pedestrian bridge crosses above high-speed railway tracks, providing an important urban connection for the two. The dynamic characteristics of the complicated structure are expressed through finished materials and the bright-red orange color is chosen to emphasize the urban significance of the bridge as a pedestrian vector.
