Classy but not original I appreciate the proposal but why create such a common bridge among thousands of others just like it? The deck is very inviting I must say but the structure is and looks like it was taken from any one of the many arch bridges of the past. The boulevard concept is very...

Pretty Pretty design work and well researched. Seems like a lot of glazing for a pedestrian bridge (or any bridge for that matter). Looks good in renders but what will it look like dirty, and covered in scratches? The design would work more as a plus fifteen walkway than an open-air bridge.

Issues with "green space" The concept is great but it won't work. Like the vine submission this one has issues with how "green" it can be. The new Vancouver Convention Centre has made some architects realize the implications of green space and architecture. The green roof of the Convention...

Sorry, misread something. Looks like you are using the frames as structure. Cool but maybe too literal. Is it possible to make the bikes less obvious at first glance while making the design more elegant?

Cool idea I'm a huge bike fan but your design seems too predictable. Looks to me like the bike frames could simply be welded on to any bridge. I'd love to see the bicycles as an interesting expression of the structure rather than an arbitrary add-on. The idea is good but the I've seen it...

Question for designer: can you hand draw? If you can, I'd love to see a scanned drawing of your idea. Computers are only good to you if you have lots of experience designing with them. The deck of the bridge is a good concept and the support pier seems fitting as well. Some architects use...

Hi there I would first like to say, the concept is fitting and works. With that said I feel that the graphic work so far is unresolved and for a proper critique the work is too vague. I believe that the idea you have for this bridge looks much better in your mind than it does on paper so far...

Designer Comment I appreciate the constructive criticism so far. I want to state that hand rails are not a part of this early stage in the design, not as a design statement, but because the structure is my focus at this point. As for clearance above the railway, the deck would be raised and...

Nice structure, but closing it in with vines? Good rendering. I'm originally from Calgary (I.E cold for eight months of the year) and now I live in Vancouver. A big difference between Vancouver and places like Toronto and Calgary is that the latter two don't keep leafy plants green for much of...

Make those cables work Sleek design but I'd like to see those cables work harder. For a foot bridge of this length, supported in the middle, the cables are just for looks. One suggestion to address this could be to lighten the beam structure so more of the bending moment is transferred to the...
