Gap·Symbiosis with Nature 隙·自然共生
"Gap·Symbiosis with Nature" is a conceptual bridge design that integrates nature with architecture, presenting a unique sense of beauty and vitality. The design draws inspiration from the stone bridges in the wilds of Mogan Mountain, preserving their graceful curves while replacing traditional stone arches with a lightweight steel structure, creating an elegant and airy visual effect.
The cracks and disjunctions between the bridge deck and body create a sense of natural breathing, making the interaction between humans and nature more immediate. The bridge itself is broken down into different geometric volumes, with the bridge body, railing, and handrails detached, prompting a rethinking of the meaning of connection. Through this thoughtful approach, the design encourages observers to engage more closely with the bridge's details, merging with it as one.
隙·自然共生，一座桥梁的概念设计，将自然与建筑相融合，呈现出一种独特的美感和生命力。设计取灵感于莫干山的山野石桥，保留了优美的弧线，同时用轻盈的钢结构代替了传统的石拱，创造出优雅而轻盈的视觉效果。
桥面与桥身的裂缝与断开，创造了一种自然呼吸的感觉，让人与大自然的相互影响更加直观。桥自身拆解为不同的几何体量，桥身、护栏、扶手，各自脱离，让人们重新去思考连接的涵义。希望通过这一巧思，让观察者更加近距离地欣赏桥梁的细节，与之融为一体。
Form and Nature 形式与自然
Grass grows from the gaps in the bridge, and rainwater flows off the bridge deck, making the bridge not only a river crossing but also an existence intertwined with natural life. Gaps are left between the railing and the ground pavement of the bridge, which not only facilitates drainage but also enhances the design sense of the bridge deck's volume, allowing the bridge deck, body, and handrails to separate lightly from each other. 草从桥缝中生长，雨水从桥面滑落，桥不仅跨越河流，更是一个与自然生命相交融的存在。在桥梁的栏杆与地面铺装间留有缝隙，既可以排水，也增强了桥面的体量设计感，使桥面、桥身和扶手之间彼此轻巧地脱开。

Night View 夜景
At night, LED light strips are hidden under the handrails to provide illumination for the bridge. The slightly yellow light is reflected by the aluminum panel surface of the guardrail and falls on the creek through the gaps in the bridge, bringing starlight to the water surface. This concealed design adds a sense of mystery and charm to the entire bridge. 夜晚，LED灯带暗藏于扶手下，为桥上提供照明。微黄的灯光通过护栏铝板面的反射，从桥缝洒落于溪流之上，带来水面的星光点点。这种隐蔽的设计为整个桥梁增添了一份神秘感和魅力。
Structural Optimization 结构优化
In the initial design phase, Kangaroo dynamic simulation plug-ins were used to optimize the bridge's shape to find the best arch shape to maintain the simplicity and beauty of the shell's shape while ensuring more reasonable stress. Later, Karamba finite element analysis was used to constantly adjust the shell curve to ensure the structural strength requirements. During construction, prefabricated steel beams, cold-formed anodized aluminum plates, and other assembly construction technologies can be used to reduce on-site construction time and costs while minimizing environmental damage, demonstrating concern and respect for environmental protection. 在桥梁的设计初期，利用Kangaroo动力学模拟插件进行形态优化，以找到最佳的桥拱形态，以保持壳体造型的简洁美感，同时保证受力更加合理。之后，利用karamba有限元分析，不断调试壳体曲线，保证结构的强度要求。 在施工过程中，可以采用工厂预制钢梁、冷弯阳极氧化铝板等装配式建造技术，在现场进行吊装。这种施工方式不仅减少了现场施工时间和成本，而且减少了对环境的破坏，体现了对环境保护的关注和尊重。
