2016 Auckland Architecture Awards Winner
Canada Street Bridge
Threading its way along the barren and forlorn backend of K' Road, this sinuous addition to Auckland's cycle network captures the imagination and implores patronage. The architects have dispensed with previously held perceptions of utilitarian infrastructures and the places they occupy throughout New Zealand's cities and its urban history. It is the calm before (or after) the storm of its graciously disruptive #LightPathAKL neighbour and demands a careful, considered and almost precise navigation. This is a sleek and innately peaceful structural solution, architectural Zen next to the chaos of the freeway it spans.
