Bridges Borneo-Sporenburg

Large scale interventions in a city require a strong and understandable concept in order to carry a unique identity. It is not a ready-made object, but it will accumulate richness and beauty through time. They always refer to the local context, the history, the landscape, or the surrounding ecology.

The aim is to incorporate the awareness of these various aspects in a playful optimistic manner that stimulates the desire to conquer and take possession of space. A large-scale intervention such as a bridge design cannot be successfully completed without consideration or design of its surroundings.
