Bridges

FVAI的主要目标是创造一个新的结构，简单和融入景观。
FVAI main goal consists of creating a new structure, simple and integrated into the landscape.

这是一座靠近乡村的弓弦桥，横跨一条峡谷。因此，设计尺寸应与场所的形态相适应。桥梁跨度为30米，拱高为8米。通过这种方式，可以实现非常轻的结构，并根据当前的建筑模式保持现代比例。
This is about a bowstring bridge, close to the countryside, which cross over a ravine. For this reason, design dimensions are adapted to the morphology of the place. The bridge span is 30m long and arches are 8m high. By this way a very light structure is achieved, keeping modern proportions according to current architectural patterns.

设计的美学原则，仍然在于对结构如何工作的直观理解。桥面板的每一侧都使用两个拱。内部结构是垂直的，支撑来自自重和活荷载的垂直荷载，即车辆和行人。外部的一个，稍微倾向于垂直的拱，并提供横向稳定性。这些构件的最佳性能是通过将顶部的两个拱与一个非常薄的钢膜相匹配来实现的。结果，是一个非常轻和奇异的结构。
The aesthetic principle of the design, remains in the intuitive understanding about how the structure works. For each side of the bridge deck, two arches are used. The inner one is vertical and supports vertical loads from self-weight and live loads, i.e. vehicles and pedestrians. The outer one, leans slightly toward the vertical arch and provides lateral stability. The optimal behaviour of these elements is achieved by matching both arches on top with a very thin steel membrane. The result, is a very light and singular structure.

此类设计的关键要求是基础空间的可用性。为了使次拱以最佳方式工作，需要尽可能将其与垂直拱分开。这一可能性将取决于周围环境，以及该地区现有的规划条件。如果自由空间得到保证，这种创新系统甚至可以用于大跨度桥梁。
The key requirement for this type of design is the availability of space for foundations. In order to make the secondary arch to work in an optimal way, this needs to be separated from the vertical one as much as possible. This possibility would be determined by surrounding circumstances in terms of existing planning conditions in the area. If free space is guaranteed, this innovative system could be used even for big span bridges.

这种新的结构，本质上是一种进入城镇的新途径。除了开车，比如骑自行车或步行，它还通过其他替代方式使乡村与普洱市之间的联系更加容易。这座新桥是普索日常生活的基本元素，不仅是一个交通基础设施，也是一个独特的视觉地标。
This new structure, is essentially a new access to town. It also makes easier the connexion between the countryside and Puçol by other alternative ways, apart from car driving, like biking or walking. This new bridge is a fundamental element for the daily routine of Puçol, not just as a transport infrastructure, but also as a unique visual landmark.
