Description of the project<\/strong><\/p>\n

The City of Viareggio held a contest to choose a project for a bridge on the Burlamacca canal.\u00a0 Our proposal took inspiration from the \u201cpecking crow\u201d, one of the easiest origami figures.
\nOur bridge is a transposition of a paper origami into a structural engineering project: the finger\u2019s pressure on the edges that makes the beak move corresponds to that of the oleodynamic pistons that move the steel levels of the bridge until it is lifted up.
\nThe deck framework, similar to a rhomboid sail in shape, is a steel load high-strength structure made of assembled closed, zin-coated and varnished box-shaped elements.
\nThe trample\u2019s surface is made of wooden staves placed in fishbone shape, while the parapet is in inox steel. The bridge is provided with low-voltage lighting through illuminating devices placed at the base of the railing.
\nThe parts that assemble the trample\u2019s surface and the lower movable parts are connected by a so called \u201cpiano\u201d continuous hinge and they close up again on themselves during the bridge\u2019s lifting, moving like a real origami.
\nThe small distance between the supports allows to limit the thicknesses of the load framework, therefore making it possible to play with the mobility of the planes (which are pretty easily connected to each other). <\/i><\/p>\n<\/div>
