In an effort to enliven the local community of a new lake region on Changsha's Meixi Lake in China, an worldwide competitors was organised to design a modern, new pedestrian bridge that would period the length of the Dragon King Harbor River. The successful offer was a amazing idea that rises and falls and eventually circles returning to itself, creating a apparently limitless framework, presented by Beijing and Amsterdam-based company NEXT Architects.
The nearly 500-foot-long metal bridge has three different routes that each offer different opinions from their different levels. Motivation for the form was found in the popular shape of the Möbius strip, which is a never-ending surface that creativities and circles returning around itself. The designers behind the eye-catching bridge also attracted from historical Chinese folk art, stating the Chinese Knot as another associative picture. The Changsha Meixi Lake pedestrian bridge is scheduled to begin construction in 2014.
