The bridge swings over the stream “with ease and power.” It does not just connect banks that are already there.
—, Martin Heidegger

It will not only respond to the characteristics of the ancient city and its surroundings, but also integrate modernity and adapt to changes in the future.
—— 竞赛命题/INTRODUCTION——
Situated in the northeast of Zhejiang province, Jiaxing is in the central part of Yangtze River Delta. It is an important city of Yangtze River Delta, bordering Shanghai on the east, Suzhou on the north, Hangzhou on the west, and Hangzhou Bay on the south, with a total land area of 3,915 square kilometers, a plain land area of 3,477 square kilometers, a water region area of 328 square kilometers, a hilly and mountainous area of 40 square kilometers and a total maritime area of 4,650 square kilometers. It has a registered population of 5.411 million. Under its jurisdiction are two districts Xiuzhou and Nanhu, three county-level cities Pinghu, Haining and Tongxiang, and two counties Jiashan and Haiyan.
Jiaxing enjoys a flat terrain, balanced development and harmonious folk customs. The Grand Canal flows southwards through Jiaxing which is dotted with numerous rivers and lakes. Boasting a civilization history of more than 7,000 years, a written history of more than 2,500 years, and a city history of more than 1,700 years, it is the place where the Majiabang Culture originated, the Qiantangjiang tide surged, the "red boat" of Chinese revolution set sail, and the national nuclear power industry started.
Site – Yangtze River Delta
Site – Jiaxing Downtown Area
Jiaxing Section of The Grand Canal
—— 基地描述 Site Description ——
The footbridge of the Competition is located on the banks along Huangchen River, Jiaxing, bordering South Huancheng Road on the northwest and South Lake Scenic Spot on the southeast. Huancheng River belongs to Jiaxing Section of The Grand Canal, a world cultural heritage, and is classified as a preserve of ancient canal. Huancheng River and Shanghai-Kunming Railway divide Jiaxing Downtown Area into two parts that are the historic town and South Lake area. Currently, there is only one vehicular bridge (the one-way Ziyang Bridge) and two footbridges (Yangjia Bridge and Haogu Bridge) which only cross the river, without a passage over the railway.

4. Principle of feasibility and cost control: to set a service life and make it adequate for the pedestrian use. It should meet the requirements of flood discharge and navigation for future tours under the bridge. Two ends of the bridge should be accessible for pedestrians to pass through, avoiding any jams of this slow traffic path. Meanwhile, it should be good for future inspection and maintenance. On the basis of the principal stated above, the cost control is adopted as one of the evaluation criteria.
5. Principle of innovation: to combine the structure innovation with the design idea, and balance the relationship of structure, function and shape. The bridge design proposed should be in advanced level and infuse aesthetics. It should actively use the advanced research results domestically and worldwide such as new structure, new materials, new process, new equipment and new technology, etc. and empower solving problems and meeting challenges in the bridge design in reality.
6. Principle of environmental protection: After the consideration of all the principles stated above, the principle of environmental protection will be deemed as one of the evaluation criteria.

The sense of historical view toward spaces along The Grand Canal should be maintained. It should balance the relationship of structure, function and shape. The energy saving and sustainable development should be considered as well. The bridge should not be too high, and its volume and piers should not be too large. Piers and pile foundation should be set far away from the revetment and avoid put in the protection scope of The Grand Canal as far as possible. The architectural style should reveal the local characteristics and the feature of the times. Design should comply with relative design rules in China. The expression should be simple and primitive, integrate with its surrounding natural landscape, and respect the fabric of the historic town and South Lake history. It should decrease decorations in design, and minimize the disturbance to the body of The Grand Canal and its landscape.

嘉兴古城贯通南湖跨环城河和铁路人行桥概念设计国际竞赛
桥梁飞架于溪水之上，轻盈而刚劲，它并非仅仅把已存在那里的两岸连接起来。——《诗·语言·思》海德格尔
2022年嘉兴古城贯通南湖跨环城河和铁路人行桥概念设计国际竞赛是面向全球设计机构及专业设计师群体发起的，以跨环城河跨沪昆铁路为基地，旨在连接嘉兴历史城区-老城和南湖，以人行桥概念设计为目标的国际设计竞赛。
竞赛由嘉兴市城市投资发展集团有限公司和国际设计竞赛平台Young Bird Plan嫩鸟计划共同发起，旨在通过聚合建筑、景观、桥梁、艺术等全世界设计师群体参与竞赛，集结设计巧思，打造具有影响力的城市事件和学术热点，为嘉兴历史城区贯通南湖慢行系统创造更多可能性。
跨环城河跨沪昆铁路人行桥的建成将提升嘉兴中心城区品质，强化古城中央文化轴形象，同时为大运河（嘉兴段）塑造具有步行、游赏、连接功能的景观节点，不仅呼应古城风貌及周边环境，亦融入现代风格并能应对未来的变化。
所有内容最终以官网为准
竞赛命题
嘉兴地处浙江省东北部、长江三角洲杭嘉湖平原腹心地带，是长江三角洲重要城市之一。东接上海，北邻苏州，西连杭州，南濒杭州湾，陆域面积3915平方公里，其中平原3477平方公里，水面328平方公里，丘陵山地40平方公里，市境海域面积4650平方公里，常住人口541.1万，下辖秀洲、南湖2个区，平湖、海宁、桐乡3个县级市和嘉善、海盐2个县。
嘉兴全境地势平坦，京杭大运河贯斜，境内河港湖荡密布，发展平衡，民风勤善，已有7000多年的历史、2500多年的文字记载史、1700多年的建城史，是马家浜文化发祥、钱江大潮起涌、中国革命红船起航、国家核电事业起步的地方。
基地描述
本次竞赛的人行桥位于嘉兴中心城区环城河畔，西北接嘉兴古城环城南路，东南面南湖风景名胜区。环城河属于世界文化遗产京杭大运河江南运河嘉兴段，为古运河保护区划。以中央文化轴为核心的嘉兴古城，与南湖之间相隔环城河和铁路，现状仅有一座车行桥（紫阳桥）连接（单行），两座人行桥（杨家桥、壕股桥）仅为跨河通道，不能跨铁路。

设计意义
新建跨环城河和铁路人行桥，将贯通嘉兴古城和南湖的慢行系统，促进城市建设以谋求自身发展，改善环城河两岸人民的生产生活，是构建浙江幸福河的重要组成，是促进历史文化的保护传承，是丰富人们精神文化生活的需要。嘉兴着力打造以子城为中心的连接古今城市发展的城市中轴线（古城中央文化轴），并以步行街为特色，人行桥的建成也将完善城市中轴体系。
设计目标
1、连接古城和南湖的目标：
本次竞赛设计目标是为嘉兴市中心城区在环城河上新建一座连接古城和南湖的人行桥，需要跨环城河和铁路，改善因环城河和铁路而阻断的慢行交通，构建南北向人行联系。
2、打造慢行景观节点的宗旨：
竞赛旨在通过人行桥促进嘉兴历史城区慢行交通网的完善，改善交通出行和滨河空间，呼应古城风貌及周边环境，融入现代风格并能应对未来的变化，为京杭大运河（嘉兴段）塑造具有步行、游赏、连接功能的景观节点。
3、合理的桥梁选址：
在场地限制条件范围内，充分考虑并合理选择桥梁建设地点。需考虑铁路净空影响、有轨电车（规划中）环境影响、环城河（京杭大运河-嘉兴段）保护要求、与鸳湖路的关系影响、避让南湖宾馆区域影响。（具体资料详见资料包-场地桥梁建设环境影响及相关文件）
4、维持历史尺度感：
在城市范围内，尽可能实现嘉兴古城环城南路-铁路滨河公园-南湖景区的串联，维持京杭大运河沿线空间的历史尺度感。
5、技术及落地性要求：
在满足以上要求的同时，合理利用先进技术和材料，需考虑步行功能、游览功能、连接功能，与周边景观相呼应，确保落地性。
考核标准
根据竞赛概念及设计目标，设定以下基本评估原则：
1. 桥梁选址的合理性原则：充分考虑场地限制等因素，选出最适合建设桥梁的位置，并能适应未来的变化。
2.主题契合及风貌保护原则：展现城市风貌特色，即总体风貌特色要体现“红船魂、国际范、运河情、江南韵”，展现环城河及大运河沿线景观风貌，突显嘉兴运河文化。在长三角一体化城市建设中，展现高质量的国际化江南水乡独特魅力。在设计分析中充分阐述设计成果的风貌保护逻辑。
3.古城贯通南湖及符合规划原则：完善城市中轴线体系，贯通嘉兴古城和南湖的慢行系统，推进嘉兴发展史的时光漫步轴，延伸“能漫步的街区”的人居城市形象。
4.可行性及成本可控原则：设定足够的人行使用年限。满足桥下泄洪、未来游览通航要求。桥梁两端方便行人进出，防止慢行交通堵塞，同时利于未来检查和维护。在以上评估原则之后，成本控制同时作为考量标准依据。
5.创新性原则：将结构创新与设计巧思相结合，平衡结构、功能、造型三者关系，打造具有先进水平的桥梁设计，兼具美学意义。积极利用新结构、新材料、新工艺、新设备、新技术等国内外先进研究成果，赋能桥梁设计中难点等实际问题的解决。
6.环保原则：在以上评估原则之后，环保同时作为考量标准依据。
除以上原则外，设计应串联嘉兴古城环城南路-铁路滨河公园-南湖景区，维持京杭大运河沿线空间的历史尺度感，处理好结构、功能、造型的关系，同时考虑节能和可持续发展。桥梁不宜过高，体量及桥墩尺度不宜过大，桥墩、桩基应远离驳岸，尽可能避让大运河保护范围。造型体现地方及时代特色，设计应符合国家有关的设计规范。表达力求简洁、古朴，与周边自然风貌相协调，尊重老城区和南湖历史格局。弱化装饰设计，尽可能降低项目对大运河本体与景观的干扰。
