Floating bridge connects Ravejijn to its recyclable Island fortress

Leave a Comment
The Studio of architecture Ro-Ad drew a pontoon bridge and highly sustainable Ravelijn, Netherlands â€" the bridge connects visitors and tourists to the island fortress of the same name. The bridge takes another approach to architecture-she floats â€" and can be, he own, a tourist attraction.

According to Gizmag, the infrastructure is another way than a real bridge â€" she retrieves the ancient road traveled by boats, when the fortress was active. The aim, of course, is the same: get people to the fortress, and integrated into the landscape, and to serve as an emergency exit to connect to the city.

The bridge has a structure in accoya, a modified and treated lumber that is ideal for outdoor use and applications that require durability. She is resistant to fungal decay, as well as to the effects of swelling and shrinkage due to contact with water.

According to the architect of the project, Ad Kil, the bridge was designed to be easily disassembled and recycled. On the other hand, should not require major maintenance. If it is necessary, however, it is easily carried out.

With 80 metres in size, the bridge Ravelijn took three months to be built and is expected to last about 25 years.
