Abstract

The design proposal is situated along the edge of the city of Strasbourg, the design deals with a existing flooding problem in the area that currently limits the development of the area. The building looks at providing a new scenic route that crosses through a multitude of different landscapes and elevations. The elevated walkway is meant to interact and connect with the existing fabric by providing different function on the ground level. The top level contains the main route that connects the entirety of the location while also withstanding the flooding. Hence providing a raised infrastructure that remains functional even when the area is flooded.
