托伦斯河大桥

托伦斯河大桥
River Torrens Bridge

Oxigen：新的托伦斯河大桥为城市和休闲循环网络提供了重要的连接。凭借其在自然开放空间环境中的位置，这座桥对其使用者来说既令人惊讶又诱人。这种形式是一种通过微妙的雕塑来表现的形式，它捕捉了“穿越”的瞬间和眼前景观的品质。位置、形式、结构和材料的使用体现了周围景观的品质。它为骑自行车的人和行人在不断变化的河流上方提供了一个新的位置，但同时也给了他们一种安全感。该桥位于河流至相邻河岸顶部的中间位置，远离危险地带，但仍与水相连。
Oxigen: The new River Torrens Bridge provides a crucial connection in the urban and recreational cycle network. By virtue of its location in a natural open space setting, the bridge is both surprising and tempting to its users. The form is an expressive through subtle sculpture that captures the moment of ‘crossing’ and the qualities of the immediate landscape. The location, form, structure and the use of material captures the qualities of the surrounding landscape. It offers cyclists and pedestrians a new place above the changing river but, at the same time, it gives them a sense of security. The bridge is located mid-way from the river to the top of the adjacent banks, out of harms way but still with connection to the water.

这条河的浑浊品质与结构的脆金属品质形成了对比——科尔顿、不锈钢和镀锌钢。弯曲形状上由富有表现力的支柱支撑的钢结构形式提供了各种不断变化的视角和体验。镀锌webforge的桥面填充麻粒橡胶软垫，以取代传统的木材或预制混凝土板。这些铺面材料的组合具有创新性和独特性。
The river’s murky qualities contrast with the crisp metal qualities of the structure – corten, stainless and galvanised steel. The steel form supported by expressive struts over its curved shape offers a variety of constantly changing perspectives and experiences. The deck of galvanised webforge is in-filled with granulitic rubber softfall to replace traditional timber or precast concrete planks. The combination of these decking materials is innovative and unique.

这项新活动的引入开辟了一段不常被欣赏或参观的河流。该位置具有战略意义，完成了阿德莱德市公园路的一段，吸引了通勤者和休闲自行车手进入城市。植物园和动物园是近在咫尺的目的地。连接路径允许行人和骑自行车的人进入和体验已建成的河流雕塑步行街和植物公园。这座桥代表了对城市公共基础设施创新和可持续设计的新信心。除了一个新的安全通道外，这座桥还与周围环境相连，在公园和全市活动和网络之间形成了一座桥梁。
The introduction of this new activity opens up a section of river not often appreciated or visited. The location is strategic, completing a section of the Adelaide City Parklands Trail and drawing commuters and recreational cyclists into the city. The Botanic Park and Zoo are close destinations. Connecting paths allow pedestrians and cyclists to access and experience the established River Sculpture Walk and Botanic Park. The bridge represents a new confidence in innovative and sustainable contemporary design of public infrastructure in the city. In addition to a new safe crossing, the bridge connects to its context and forms literally a bridge between parklands and citywide activities and networks.
