New Budapest Bridge by UNStudio, Budapest, Hungary
The UNStudio scheme comprises a 1640-foot-long (500-meter-long) two-pylon stayed girder bridge, combining a road, tram, pedestrian and cycle crossing. It is a new landmark for Budapest that is both contemporary in design and innovative in structural form. A much needed bridge over the Danube in the post-industrial southern area of Budapest, the design directly connects the bridge to the Urban DNA of its location, and acts as a catalyst for the future development of this up and coming area.
