The Framing Bridge:
The scheme presents a bridge with a well-resolved design aesthetic that most convincingly addresses the wide range of practical challenges whilst proposing a bold, elegant and uncluttered response that would create an uplifting experience for the range of users and be readily adaptable to suit many different contexts.

Modular Bridge of the Future:
The scheme presented a strong strategic approach, proposing a modular 'kit of parts' that would enable a standardised bridge system to be adapted via the use of simple pre-fabricated, clip-on modular elements to different contexts and settings ranging from the historic and rural to the large scale urban interchange, with the footbridge being conceived as a social engine focussed on people and place.
