Footbridge in Terrassa
Footbridge in Terrassa over the Vallparadís seasonal water course with a span of 90 metres, a width of 2.70 m and a depth of 0.28 m. The structural scheme is that of a tensed strip of concrete with a difference in level between the two ends of 1.80 m and a central sag of 1.67 m. The bridge is part of the itinerary taking visitors to the museum and the churches of Sant Pere. The tubular metal handrail, which varies in height between 0.90 m and 1.80 m, helps give the crossing of the bridge, in the midst of the branches of the trees of the park, a high degree of interiority and concentration on the vanishing point at the far end, yet without obstructing the view of the spaces on either side, which progressively reveal themselves in the course of the crossing.
