space travellers seeks to bridge the ancient city of yongxin with its proposed 'legacy'
with its newly envisioned project ‘legacy,’ architecture studio space travellers proposes an updated urban strategy for yongxin, china. the work is developed in response to the ‘bridging yongxin’ competition, which calls for a design-minded replacement for the ancient wenxing floating bridge which once spanned yongxin’s heshui river. the design team seeks to introduce a connective element between the old city center and the north and south riverbanks. the ‘legacy’ bridge proposal is imagined as a web of floating piers supporting a monumental, enclosed complex through which visitors are invited to meander freely, experiencing the dichotomy of the old city and the future of the ‘forever new’ yongxin.
