henderson bridge in singapore a new elevated walkway that connects mount faber park and telok blangah hill park image © designboom henderson waves, jointly designed by RSP architects planners & engineers and IJP corporation, is singapore's highest pedestrian bridge and was awarded this year's design of the year for the president's design award at the singapore design week 09. standing at 36 meters above the ground, in an iconic, sculptural leap spanning across singapore's henderson road. based on the principle of parametric design, this new visual symbol has attracted the community to its walkways and shelters. its three-dimensional surface integrates structure and form in a unique wave that undulates dramatically over and under the bridge deck and creating sheltered seating areas inside every upward curve. with the sensitive use of natural organic shapes and materials such as wood and steel, this structure helps unite the city's southern ridges, which are comprised of a nine-kilometer chain of green open spaces spanning the rolling hills of mount faber park, telok blangah hill park and kent ridge park before ending at west coast park. image © designboom image © designboom image © designboom image © designboom image © designboom image © designboom image © designboom view from the bridge towards mount faber park image © designboom image © designboom image © designboom close-up view of the 57-meter wide central upwave span structural ribs image © designboom image © designboom image © designboom image © designboom image © designboom image © designboom image © designboom bridge at nighttime photo by teong mee chen
