2012: Transforming the Bridge | 12233

Team: Mathieu Leclerc, Vincent Deslauriers, Florence Carrieres, Alice Delpeyroux

Location: Thetford Mines, Quebec, Canada

Overview: cleveland : up and under
Considering only the lower level is not enough. To offer a place where people and transports live together, the bridge had to be considered as a whole.
The bridge does not need to stand only to cross the river. It needs to become a space for everyday life where people transit, connect and share. The lower levels serve riversides, valuing social interaction and collective transit. By redirecting cars and buses, a pedestrian promenade extends to the upper level of the bridge, offering bright space to open sky, and a magnificent view of Cleveland’s skyline.
