Title of the project: Skylaneden - Rising above water KeyWords: #connectivityandmobility #beautificationandpublicspace #smartandgreentechnologies #sustainability #watersensitive Project description: ‘Derived from ‘Sky’, ‘Lane’ and ‘Garden’, Skylanden is a pedestrian bridge that hovers over River IJ connecting the north and south of Amsterdam with a park. Our vision for this bridge is to be more than being the fastest connection across the river but a destination and an attraction in its own right.’ Amsterdam's ferries are the essential mode of transport across the River IJ. Inevitably, these ferry crossings have become places of congregation and social exchange, as they are places of passage. Our proposal for Skylanden puts in place a vital new connection linking the city centre to burgeoning neighbourhoods along the banks in the north. Envisioned to be more than a mere connector, Skylanden is portrayed as a spatial mediator between urban and ecological spaces with an integrated series of programs that include waterfront public spaces, allowing east and west to become a singular meandering public space. Aside from the pedestrian bridge, a designated cycling lane runs beneath it. Bike and pedestrian traffic have been separated to enable cyclists to commute swiftly across the river while pedestrians stroll above. This bicycle route will also alleviate the traffic along the channel as more commuter cyclists opt to cycle across.
