The architectural project introduces a new entrance to the site, revolutionizing accessibility and inclusivity by providing a direct route that benefits all individuals. The bridge not only enhances functionality but also serves as a visually striking landmark, adding to the site’s overall appeal. The bridge’s unique form incorporates a tactile exhibition that evokes a sense of awe, with sunlight creating rotating patterns through the bamboo walls’ spacing. It frames the surrounding trees and site, enhancing the overall aesthetic experience. Additionally, the rain corridor amplifies the user’s perception of space and presence, acting as a pause and transitional space that engages the auditory senses. The journey across the bridge creates anticipation and leaves a lasting memory for visitors, making it an iconic and immersive architectural addition to the site.
