在Rhine caree地区两座大桥之间的rheinring项目是德国科隆市的中心，也连接了城市的两个部分。这个吸引人的步行桥连接了西部的历史街区和东部的莱茵大道。这个莱茵河上形态自由的构筑物也连接了原有的侧面的桥，并且整个中心包括了周围的建筑。整个项目呈现几何状的椭圆形。扁平的形状调和了周围圆形的建筑形式，呈现了更加宽广狭长的空间。原有的桥让人们能够接近水面，而新建的桥创造了复合的道路网络，也并没有阻碍河上的交通轴线。现在莱茵河两岸的航线和停靠点都非常重要。这使得莱茵河在城市步行交通系统中具有更加重要和活力的地位，有着文化交流，体育活动和休闲娱乐的开发性。

located at the rhine carée between the two major bridges, the hohenzollernbrücke and the deutzer brücke, the ‘rheinring’ by marco hemmerling represents the center, as well as the link, between the two halves of cologne, germany. the circular construction concept, developed by stefan polonyi, serves as an attractive pedestrian walkway directly accessible from the historical altstadt to the west, and from the rhine boulevard to the east.

the free-floating ring above the river rhine is a light arch construction that picks up formal references from the flanking bridges, as well as the special buildings nearby like lanxess arena event center, the central station building, and museum ludwig. the geometry of the project is based on the mathematical model of a super ellipse, a flattened shape that mediates between the surrounding square and nearby round forms. above, the bridge blends smoothly into the context, and following the same formal principle, forms wider and narrower areas.

the cantilever arch bridge is barrier-free, inviting access with its generously rounded passages to the water’s edge and to the existing platforms. here, the new pedestrian promenade joins the existing route to form a multi-layered road network. since the support-free suspension requires no additional bridge piers, river traffic moving along the north-south axis remains unaffected.

with the mooring points located to the west of the rhine, traffic will now become evenly divided between both banks, giving each side equal importance as they will be oriented in opposite shipping directions. the body of water allows for a more intensive and innovative experience through the ‘rheinring’ as an urban space in the inner city where pedestrians and cyclists consistently circulate. this creates a great potential for cultural events, sports and leisure activities.

by linking the two sides of the site, the design takes up the important questions, which were proposed within the master plan for the inner city of cologne. as a solution, the ring structure of the metropolis gains a stronger identity created by the curving pedestrian bridge, which serves the needs of vehicular transportation systems and recreational programs, developing a new stage for public life.
