# 2019 Wood+ |
During spring in rural Norway, large water bodies and ice risk damaging bridges in the highlands. For this reason, bridges are often raised relative to the highest flood datum recorded. Wood+ shifts away from this static design and reimagines the footbridge as a self-regulating system made of composite joints. These can redirect water-flow pressure into lifting compressing forces, allowing the bridge to offset itself in relation to the fluctuating river level.
