The Yellow Bridge:
A Design for Connection and Community

This project focuses on the environmental design of "The Yellow Bridge," located on Alzaia Naviglio Pavese in Milan. The bridge, a key transitional space within the neighbourhood, connects commercial and residential areas and serves as a passage for pedestrians and cyclists. Despite its functional significance, the bridge lacks certain elements that enhance user experience, such as inclusivity, safety, and comfort.

Key proposals include introducing design interventions that encourage greater interaction while maintaining the space’s peaceful and natural character. The introduction of seating, ecological installations, and elements that create a sense of safety and comfort will encourage longer stays and greater inclusivity. Additionally, the project brings attention to environmental issues like water pollution in the canal and seeks to collaborate with eco-conscious art movements like Cracking Art to promote sustainability.
 

This proposal aims to transform the Yellow Bridge into a more inclusive, vibrant, and ecologically mindful public space, enhancing its role as both a transit corridor and a place for leisure and social interaction.
