Overview: DETROIT SUPERIOR BRIDGE
Detroit Superior Bridge was only useful for car drivers.
Pedestrians and bikers had to go through narrow and dark mostly abandoned spaces. Our aim was to bring common space to the pedestrian and biker’s level of the bridge as if the bridge continued into the city.
The industrial area part of the bridge becomes a sunk plaza that faces Downtown and the river. It also covers and provides light and ventilation to the newly generated underground parking space that was needed.
Downtown part of the bridge merges with the nearby station producing and artifical landscape that blends pedestrian urban surface with the lower part of the bridge.
Not interfering motorized traffic, the continuity of urban surface achieves the main objective.
