Nuova Porta - Tip toeing along the historic wall

1. Site: Intersection of Viale Eretenio and Contra Ponte Furo - Along the southern part of the original wall

2. Program: A place for Vicenza's bicycles. 3 parts include parking, rental/store, and swing sets all under the umbrella of a floating pedestrian/bike bridge.

3. Link: The program is ideal for the present traffic situation of Vicenza. It aims to organize the wau that the people get around while prooting the usage of bicycles in the city. The ease of transportation and acquirement will encourage more bike usage and lanes in Vicenza.

4. "Wall": This intervention is transforming the condition of the preexisting wall by becoming a more porous point of transition while maintaining the memory of the wall by touching the edge of it and becoming a moment of rest. Meanwhile, the rest of the new boundary becomes a transitional space. The old wall is no longer existing, but this footprint remains in the form of a bridge. The construction relates to the wall b use of a heavier concrete at the base as an anchor.

5. Tectonic: The method of construction is similar to the making of a classical arcade system. Through the use of repetition, pattern, and arches, the language of the bridge is composed as a rendition of the screening effect of the arcade. The material for the bridge arches is steel and it uses a truss-like system to make connections and support it below. The buildings below are made of a prime, heavy concrete wall surrounded by light construction of steel and glass.
