Ballston Quarter Pedestrian Bridge
Overview
The Ballston Quarter Pedestrian Bridge, designed by studioTECHNE|architects, was informed by a collaborative public process. The bridge enhances neighborhood connectivity as a vital pedestrian link between Ballston Quarter and the Ballston Exchange as well as connecting those using the walkway to the Metro and the surrounding city. Articulating steel tubes support an undulating zinc roof which enclose an interior space surrounded by glass curtain walls, a polished concrete floor and a faceted wood-look ceiling. Custom-designed benches by studioTECHNE offer a place for respite. The bridge blends function and artistic expression and creates an iconic civic presence in the heart of Ballston. studioTECHNE|architects is an architectural research, design and planning firm based in Cleveland, Ohio.
