Vilafant Bridge

The High Speed Railway line connecting Barcelona and the French border crosses the Municipality of Vilafant 19 ft below the ground level. To cross the sunken railroad, two pedestrian bridges were constructed. The structure, with one span of 150 ft , is monolithically connected with the abutments. The use of unusual geometric shapes fabricated using stainless-steel and GFRP are blended in an innovative fashion, giving rise to an austere and elegant solution.
The two gateways projected signal constitute a creative and innovative engineering. The forms are soft, curved in a flat landscape, but the purity of line and transparency achieved consistently relate to the environment.
The shape evokes the flight of a butterfly on the flat landscape of the Empordà.
The structure is both austere and elegant, audible in the distance but not imposed. It is a metaphor for innovation through the use of advanced materials. Represents a driver of technological development and progress of our society.
