DKFS together with the engineering expert Schüßler-Plan Warsaw won the international competition for the new Warsaw Bridge connecting the centre and old town of Warsaw with the Praga District to the east over the river Vistula. Once built it will be one of Europe’s longest footbridges. The competition held by the City of Warsaw for the almost 500m long pedestrian and cycle bridge attracted international attention with over 140 EOI and 40 final submissions.
Renata Kaznowska, the Deputy Major of
Warsaw, said: “It was very important for us to choose what could be referred to
as an architectural gem from the overwhelming response to the brief with high
quality proposals. The chosen proposal however does not dominate its context,
but fits seamlessly into the unique urban setting. It feels like it has always
been there. “
