Awesome Butterfly Bridge by Wilkinson Eyre Architects in Bedford, UK
This is an amazing classic bridge that built since 1997 but still has a strong character to be the inspiration for modern footbridge architecture development. The design ideas is inspired from the similar curves of JJ Webster’s elegant 1888 footbridge nearby, Wilkinson Eyre Architects have designed the new one which across the River Ouse in Bedford. Planned as one of the cities icon, the bridge is designed to create an inviting spectator platform and informal ‘grandstand’ during Bedford’s annual regatta, this footbridge named Butterfly Bridge, because of its shape resembling butterfly wings. Designed at 32m in span, has twin steel arches which are inclined like butterfly wings to produce a feeling of containment on the deck and, simultaneously, an openness to the sky. The deck extends onto the landscaped banks at each end to engage with the open space around the bridge and enable step-free access, with longitudinal deck lighting concealed at kicker level within the parapets.
