Bridge, which was designed by Cezary Bednarski - Polish architect who lives in the UK - won the international competition to design the bridge, which will become the center of Copenhagen. Bednarski
project, developed in collaboration with Flint & Neill engineering, won, among others with a known company in the world Arup and architect Zaha Hadid. 180 m long bridge will connect the old part of Copenhagen with a new one. In the middle part will be opened to the width of 40 m. At the two ends are squares.
most sophisticated
- Our project has been recognized as the most visually and technically sophisticated of the ten submitted to the contest - said Bednarski, a graduate of architecture at Warsaw Polytechnic.
Original Motion Pole stands opening mechanism - the middle will be moving items between wsuwały solids. - On a traditional part of the drawbridge, after which it goes and goes, rises to the top. On the bridge, which opens vertically, you can not afford. On our bridge to the right and left of the sliding elements are the platform on which you can observe at close range passing ships, while the same passage of a vessel architecture is not Scandinavian, especially Denmark, has a tradition of combining functionality with poetry. In this architecture is a little frivolity. I think that in contrast to other proposals submitted for the contest we imagined was the least and the most in the spirit of the Scandinavian tradition.

- The advantage of this project is also the fact that energy requirements are minimal. Lift bridges need to counteract gravity and to raise and close the require a lot of energy. In the case of our bridge power consumption is minimal. In the event of a failure can be part of moving to open and close mechanically with little physical effort - the architect added.
a good fit
According to Bednarski liked the project because wkomponował in the urban environment and traditions of Scandinavian architecture.
