Manhattan is getting too crowded with no space to grow and develop. Thus, how to extend or connect the island to the surrounding is essential. The project is a new typology of urban infrastructure that not only connects the two sides of water, but also contains sustainable space modules inside, creating a place and a new urban typology for New York. The bridge can be seen as an extension of city block that grows out from Long Island City, over East River and reaches Roosevelt Island. We have two kinds of movement strategies for the project. People who want to go cross the river can take the Fast Movement system. On the other hand, people who work or live on the bridge can take the Slow Movement system to wander through, experiencing the interior space and natural garden. In our project, there are mega-structures that hold up the whole bridge over the water. Besides, there is secondary structure, a framework, that goes between mage-structure, on which units with programs could be built. The framework makes the bridge flexible for future development and change. This ‘bridge’ is not only a campus building, but also a long-term urban sustainable strategy.
