In a world full of overcrowded cities with busy commuters,
trying to get from A to B as quickly as possible has been the main aim for the
clock watching workaholic. Three Bosnian product design students have tried to
put a stop to this by creating a bridge in Sarajevo that encourages people to
stop, sit down and take in the beautiful scenery.
Most transport links have been designed to be direct as
possible, but not this bridge. It provides the pedestrian with a different
experience which is less direct. A single curling form made from steel and
aluminium incorporates a wooden bench to provide a contemplative haven for
pedestrians and visitors to admire this picturesque city. Its unique form ( for
a bridge ) looks just as eye catching at night illuminated with bright white LEDs.
Named Festina Lente, the bridge means 'to make haste slowly'.
It’s a brave piece of modern architecture and engineering that sits elegantly
alongside Sarajevo's historical buildings.
