In Between the Bridge

This project is examining the possibility of reusing a space taken by a transportation structure, the Nuselský most, a bridge located in Prague, and speculates about its uses in a carless future.  A bridge structure is perceived as a connection, a shelter, or a barrier, but how can we use the space In Between the Bridge? The project is connecting future living desires with remains from the past and utilizing a structure that might become obsolete while proposing a vertical community for a post-materialistic generation oriented towards health, nature, self-realization, individualism, and sustainability, supporting social interactions in society.It is an investigation of an ability of a structure to be flexible in response to the demands of society and the ability to expand over time while using space already taken by the bridge. Modularity is used as a tool to achieve higher freedom in populating the void and in combining different typologies in one structure. Relation between horizontal and vertical city life is presenting new opportunities for community meeting points, unexplored urban spaces, and forming new connections within the city.
