Kurilpa Pedestrian Bridge
Brisbane, Queensland
The Kurilpa Bridge was a key tool in increasing pedestrian movement between two of Brisbane’s major parklands – South Bank and Roma Street Parklands.
The project was an opportunity to not only make a new pedestrian and cycle connection across Brisbane’s river but to create new forms of public space, as well as a symbol of a city forging its identity at the forefront of art, science and technology.
Its conceptualisation, based upon Buckminster Fuller’s principles of tensegrity, was to simultaneously resolve unusual physical challenges, such as navigational constraints and motorway spanning, and embrace the spirit of a relaxed, subtropical city seeking to prioritise walking, cycling and healthy lifestyle. It ultimately embodies and conveys Brisbane’s emergence as a contemporary design city.
