Paris-based LEA Invent along with Burcak Pekin shared with us their winning proposal for the Pedestrian Footbridge Design Competition in Fatih Vatan Street, Istanbul, Turkey. More images and architect’s description after the break. The footbridge is located in one of the busiest districts of Istanbul. It holds the main axe connecting the center to the historic peninsula, baring an important portion of the traffic load, with the tram route taking place on the middle. Therefore, it covers the most important crossroads of vehicle and pedestrian movement in the region. The axial movement of the pedestrians are taken into acoount to determine the strategic points for the design. These points are connected to each other by the pedestrian crosswalks on the east and west sides of the tram station and connected to the station by the footbridge at the middle.
