一個長180的「彩虹天橋」

最新 03-11

「彩虹橋」提供了兩個主要長灘場館之間的直接公共連接：長灘會展娛樂中心和長灘表演藝術中心。在該橋建造之前，兩個目的地之間移動需要攀登無數的樓梯，並穿過一條由裝卸碼頭和暖通空調設備主導的一段海濱路。

Text description provided by the architects. The Long Beach Seaside Way Convention and Performing Arts Center Pedestrian Bridge, or 「Rainbow Bridge」, provides a direct, public connection between two major Long Beach venues: the Long Beach Convention Center and the Long Beach Performing Arts Center. Before the construction of the bridge, moving between the two destinations demanded climbing numerous flights of stairs and to cross a stretch of Seaside Way dominated by loading docks and HVAC equipment.

SPF提出的初步解決方案是：在兩個中心之間建立一條高架人行道，但在對該城市的RFQ產生了負面影響後，SPF選擇了追求完整的公共設施。最終完成的項目是一個壯觀的600英尺（182米）的人行天橋，由頂部76個定製焊接的彎鋼筋組成，以及大約1,200立方碼的現澆混凝土塑造基地。橋蓋設有3,500個變色LED節點燈，100個筒燈和70個泛光燈，所有這些都可以靈活運用並與音樂同步以創建不同的效果。

The initial solution proposed by SPF:a was to build an elevated sidewalk between the two centres, but following an overwhelming response to the RFQ issued by the city, SPF:a chose to pursue a complete public amenity. The finished project is a spectacular 600-foot pedestrian bridge consisting of 76 custom-welded bent-steel ribs framing the top, and approximately 1,200 cubic yards of poured-in-place concrete shaping the base. The bridge canopy features 3,500 colour-changing LED node lights, 100 downlights, and 70 floodlights, all of which can be programmed and synched to music to create different effects.

SPF與Carl Stahl Architektur密切合作，創建定製的三件式不鏽鋼節點夾，以便橋樑的LED線路連接到天篷。獨特的設計還允許安裝和更換的靈活性。該橋的混凝土脊柱內隱藏著綠植和排水系統。整體設計深受海灘環境的影響（這座橋實際上首先被稱為「激流」）。像船體一樣的結構元素已經結合了波浪中的優雅和均勻性，而LED則固定在電纜上以傳達類似網狀的感覺或船舶的索具裝置。

SPF:a worked closely with Carl Stahl Architektur to create the custom, three-piece, stainless steel node clip that allows for the bridge』s LED wiring to attach to the canopy. The unique design also allows for ease of installation and replacement flexibility. Power and drainage for the walkway plantings have been hidden within the concrete spine of the bridge. The overall design is heavily influenced by its beach surroundings (the bridge was, in fact, first dubbed 「Riptide」). Structural elements such as the hull-like formation have been married with the elegance and uniformity found in waves, while the LEDs were affixed to cables to convey a net-like feeling or the rigging of a ship.
