The Pedestrian Bridge in Birrarung Marr is a 300m long timber and steel structure linking the upper platform of the park to Speakers Corner.
The bridge links the city to the river, the constructed environment to the natural and provides a transition between the rigid gridded forms of one and the fluid nature of the other. It explores the ideas of rhythm and movement, containment and exposure, texture and sound.
Its central steel spine is profiled in response to the spacing of the support columns which vary with thedistance of the bridge above the ground. The superstructure is a delicately crafted series of timber beams and decking.
