Follow the construction of the beautiful Passerelle des Arts bridge in Luxembourg. The Passerelle des Arts is a pedestrian and cycling bridge in the Quartier Européen Sud in Luxembourg's Kirchberg neighborhood. It links the Avenue J. F. Kennedy, Kirchberg's mobility backbone, with the Contemporary Art Museum of Luxemburg and the Musée Dräi Eechelen. Designed by the local firm Fabeck Architectes and Paris-based Marc Mimram Architecture Ingénierie, the Passerelle des Arts is characterized by its sculptural design as well as the goal of preserving its natural environment, considered a green treasure in the heart of the city. Winding through the trees of the urban forest, with benches installed in the curves, the architecture encourages people to slow down and take a contemplative stroll. The bridge's close relationship between nature and culture strongly influenced the choice of materials: its main structure is made of polished stainless steel that is combined with light-colored concrete elements for the deck and glass railings.


This results in an ever-changing materialization of the whole throughout the seasons--and depending on the weather. Passerelle des Arts, Luxembourg documents the entire concept, design, and construction process of the Passerelle des Arts through plans, drawings, and texts as well as photographs taken by Erieta Attali and Christian Aschman.
