无限桥
The Infinite Bridge

The Infinite Bridge is a sculpture by danish architect studio Gjøde & Povlsgaard Arkitekter built and exhibited in connection with the international biennale, Sculpture by the Sea 2015, that takes place in the scenic coastal landscape surrounding the city of Aarhus.

“我们创造了一个雕塑，它的全部内容是体验周围环境，并意识到城市与海湾壮丽景观之间的关系。走在桥上，你会感受到不断变化的景观，这是一幅无穷无尽的全景画，同时你会进入一个与其他人进行社会互动的空间，体验着同样的全景，”Gjøde&；的合伙人兼联合创始人Johan Gjøde说；波夫斯加德·阿基特克特。
“We have created a sculpture that is all about experiencing the surroundings and becoming aware of the relation between the city and the magnificent landscape of the bay. Walking on the bridge you experience the changing landscape as an endless panoramic composition and at the same time you enter a space of social interaction with other people experiencing the same panorama,” says Johan Gjøde, partner and co-founder of Gjøde & Povlsgaard Arkitekter.

这座无限大桥的直径为60米，一半在海滩上，一半在海里。它由60个相同的木质构件组成，放置在钢柱上，钢柱位于海底约两米处。桥的甲板根据潮水的不同，在水面以上一到两米之间上升。这座桥坐落在一个从海滩延伸到森林的小河谷的河口处，桥的曲率与景观的轮廓一致。
The Infinite Bridge has a diameter of 60 meters and is positioned half on the beach and half in the sea. It consists of 60 identical wooden elements placed on steel pillars housed about two meters into the sea floor. The deck of the bridge rises between one and two meters above the water surface depending on the tide. The curvature of the bridge follows the contours of the landscape as it sits at the mouth of a small river valley extending into the forest from the beach.

In addition to unfolding the seaside panorama The Infinite Bridge establishes a connection between the present and the history of the specific site, as it reconnects the beach to a long forgotten viewpoint at sea.

The Infinite Bridge

“这座桥与以前码头的码头相接，码头位于人们过去乘坐汽船从城市抵达码头放松和享受的地方。历史悠久的瓦尔纳亭坐落在海滩上方的山坡上，是风景名胜区中一个受欢迎的目的地，有露台、餐厅和舞厅。展馆坐落在森林的边缘，面向大海，从不再存在的码头登陆码头体验。无限桥重建了这一历史联系，为城市与周围景观之间的关系提供了一个新的视角，”Gjøde&；波夫斯加德·阿基特克特。
“The bridge touches the landing dock of a previous pier located at the site where people used to arrive in steamboats from the city to relax and enjoy themselves. The historic Varna Pavilion that sits on the hillside above the beach was a popular destination in the scenic landscape with its terraces, restaurant and dancehall. Situated on the edge of the forest facing the sea the pavilion was meant to be experienced from the landing dock of the pier that no longer exists. The Infinite Bridge reestablishes this historic connection and offers a new perspective on the relation between the city and the surrounding landscape,” says Niels Povlsgaard, partner and co-founder of Gjøde & Povlsgaard Arkitekter.

The true art piece

“我们的建筑师实践背后的理念是自行启动项目。我们发明了项目，并与决策者取得联系，而不是等待项目的实施。在这种情况下，海边的雕塑是一个独特的机会，可以在丹麦的海岸保护区内工作，并在一个无法到达的区域安装无限桥，”约翰·乔德说。
As a young practice, Gjøde & Povlsgaard Arkitekter reaches out in their approach to making a difference with their projects.
“The philosophy behind our architect practice is to start projects on our own. Rather than waiting for a project to come about, we invent the project and get in touch with people making the decisions. In this context Sculpture by the Sea was a unique opportunity to work within the coastal protection zone of Denmark and install The Infinite Bridge in an otherwise inaccessible area,” says Johan Gjøde.

When commenting on the dividing line between art and architecture, Gjøde & Povlsgaard are very clear about their role. They are vastly experienced in designing exhibition spaces and working on projects that call for the spatial potential of a given location to be explored.

“我们在艺术和建筑领域做了不少工作。大多数时候，它是关于后退一步，让艺术进入自己的领域。在这些情况下，你必须创造一个环境，让人们能够以一种新的视角来接触和思考各个艺术作品。正如我们对无限桥所做的那样，我们试图创造一个环境，让你可以体验城市周围的景观。事实上，真正的艺术作品是大自然、城市的天际线、港口以及与水的关系，”约翰·加德说。
“We have worked quite a bit in the realm of art and architecture. Most of the time it is about taking a step back and allowing the art to come into its own. In these situations, you have to create a setting where people can meet and contemplate the individual art pieces in a new light. As we did with The Infinite Bridge, we have tried to create a setting where you can experience the landscape surrounding the city. Actually, it is nature, the city’s skyline, the harbor and the relationship to the water that is the true art piece,” says Johan Gjøde.
