Bosnian Looping Bridges

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

This Pipe Bridge Was Designed by Three Bosnian Design Students

— December 13, 2012 — Art & Design
This pipe bridge comes from three product design students in Bosnia who got the opportunity by winning a competition five years ago. Since then, Adnan Alagić, Bojan Kanlić and Amila Hrustić have worked tirelessly to come up with a unique bridge concept. The pipe bridge is basically two parallel walkways that merge in the center by way of a pipe like vertical roundabout. The bridge is actually named Festina Lente, meaning "make haste, slowly."

It is more than 38 meters long, which is about 3/8 of a football field. It covers the Miljacka rivers and also features two benches underneath the loop in the middle of the bridge. “The basic idea of the bridge is the union of the secular and spiritual,” explain the designers on their site, ”The loop on the bridge is a symbolic gate.”
Trend Themes
1. Pipe Bridge Design - Opportunity for a disruptive innovation in bridge construction using unique pipe-like structures and concepts.
2. Secular-spiritual Integration - Opportunity for disruptive innovation in architectural design by combining elements of both secular and spiritual symbolism.
3. Unique Vertical Roundabout - Opportunity for disruptive innovation in transportation infrastructure by incorporating vertical roundabouts into bridge designs.
Industry Implications
1. Architecture - The architectural industry can explore new design possibilities and concepts inspired by the Bosnian pipe bridge.
2. Construction - The construction industry can integrate unique pipe-like structures and concepts into bridge projects, enhancing functionality and aesthetics.
3. Transportation Infrastructure - The transportation infrastructure industry can explore the use of vertical roundabouts as innovative solutions for bridge and road designs, improving traffic flow and safety.
