"Set between the French-style streets of Bailu Town and the metallic geometry of the Diamond Music Hall, the bridge introduces a fluid work of architecture that threads through these contrasting contexts. Here, ZZHK establishes a footbridge that works with the contours of the landscape rather than imposing a static gesture. The bridge deck emerges from the 'ridge path' of the Diamond Music Hall, then curves across the Bailu River in a single, continuous motion."
"The team at ZZHK Architects sculpts its G Clef Bridge to recall the looping character of a treble clef. A spiraling ramp rises from the riverbank toward an open-air stage in the music town, while a second loop lifts visitors toward an elevated overlook. These spirals join two gently winding bridge decks, yielding a circulation sequence with several route choices."
ZZHK Architects designed the G Clef Bridge to span the Bailu River in Chengdu's Longmen range. The bridge follows the contours of the landscape, emerging from the Diamond Music Hall ridge path and curving across the river in a single continuous motion. Spiraling ramps recall a treble clef, linking an open-air stage and an elevated overlook while joining two winding decks that provide multiple route choices. Surfaces alternate between solid decking and glass panels inspired by the historic 'Broken Bridge,' and slender metal railings emphasize continuity. Platforms at key points frame views toward Bailu Town, the Diamond Music Hall, and the river valley.
