The Inspiration from the Slow-Traffic and Lingering Characteristics of the Inhabited Bridge

Article Preview

Abstract:

The Inhabited Bridge combines bridge and building, integrating with abundant functions, attracting people to linger on it. It shows a striking contrast to modern bridges which mainly serve fast traffic. Through historical retrospect and analysis of characteristics different from modern bridges, this article points out that the present bridge construction should make progress on four aspects: satisfying slow-traffic people, compounding various lingering functions, creating water-seeing open spaces, and harmonizing with environments.
