这个项目位于经济拮据的弗吉尼亚州福吉克利夫顿铁路镇，该镇曾经因工业制造而繁
荣，如今后工业化时代，小镇面临着城市更新和复兴。这个冷清的地方被改造和复
兴，并在重建后的小镇中心提供急需的公共空间，这座小桥便是重整计划中的一个振
兴元素。
桥体位于一个公园和一条小溪旁，弯曲的桥跨越小溪，克服地形高差，联系公园与附
近新建的剧院。小桥提供坡道和台阶两种路径，结构优雅，造型轻盈，在绿树的掩映
下拥有恰当的存在感。除了桥，公园还有几个大草坪，一些小花坛，树阵，露天剧场
等主要元素。
The project is situated in the economically strained Virginia rail town of Clifton Forge. It
is the 2nd phase of the redevelopment of a post-industrial brownfield into a public park
and performance space which aspires to inject a distinct sense of identity and place at
the heart of the community.
This second phase of the project includes a pedestrian bridge, park space and a creek
access. The idea driving the design is that the built elements emerge out of the
landscape of the park. The bridge is a bent path, which ramps and steps, inviting
people to wander as well as providing a direct link, over the creek, between the new
ampitheatre and the historic downtown. It is supported at mid-span by a forest of
leaning columns, which create a sheltered repose along the creek. Transparency was
an integral part of the overall concept; the bridge deck and rail assembly maintain a thin
profile, giving the bridge a subtle presence on the site. The entire length of the bridge is
ramped to accommodate the site's significant elevation changes. The park is divided
into multiple landscaped areas, including a line of tall grasses along the creek, a
labyrinthine butterfly garden adjacent to the amphitheatre, a beach along the creek,
and a series of grass lawns at the center.
