The design of Flowin’, the new pedestrian bridge for Moganshan Town over the Fuxi River, begins with a careful analysis of the chosen project site. The generation of the form was guided by a series of parameters: the relationship with the anthropic and natural context, the tectonics, and its structural behaviour.
