IJP Architects and structural engineer AKT II have unveiled visuals for a two-storey bridge that will be built beside Santiago Calatrava's Dubai Creek Tower in the UAE with a 145-metre-span over the man-made canal in Dubai Creek Harbour.
It will be composed of a decorative web of steel that evokes traditional Islamic geometric patterns, to create a throughway and "Instagram-ready" viewpoint to the world's tallest structure.
The intention is for it to be as slender and light as possible, complementing the form of the Dubai Creek Tower rather than distracting from it.
Its lower level is intended for pedestrians and provides shade from the sun, while the upper deck will be primarily used as a route for golf carts and cyclists.
