The Ribja brv Footbridge located in Ljubljana, Slovenia was designed in 2014 by the Arhitektura d.o.o practice in a setting that seems to be inspired from the architecture of Venice with new bridges crossing the river called the Triple Bridge and the Shoemakers bridge that were created as public areas.

The famous architect Joze Plecnik, who is responsible for the modern aesthetic of the capital city, is the one who planned the bridge access to the Butchers’ bridge and the Fishmarket bridge so the width and arrangement of the riverside were already determined.

The designers wanted to integrate the bridge with the older ones nearby, so they employed a minimalist footbridge that, instead of competing with the legacy of Plecnik, would provide an efficient and elegant design which connects the two banks as well as offering a viewpoint over the river due to the transparent railing.

The frame construction has a thin steel box as the horizontal element which is fastened into a vertical element comprised of a concrete pillar to the right bank of the Ljubljanica River, while on the other side the steel pylon is leaning on two elastic beds.
