sharp-shinned hawk’s chirp
Nestled amidst Victoria Park, spanning 30 meters over its picturesque lake, the Wave provides pedestrians with an immersive experience. Inspired by the sounds of the surrounding wildlife, the bridge’s form is crafted using 200 mm diameter blackened steel pipes to emulate the soundwave of the native sharp-shinned hawk’s chirp. With one end much taller with a denser roof, pedestrians are welcomed into the surrounding wildlife as they continue across the bridge, where the pipes gradually decrease in height and conversely when crossing in the opposite direction, creating a dynamic and engaging connection with the park’s surroundings. The Wave thoughtfully bulges at two points, creating viewpoints with accessible seating provided opposite, inviting pedestrians to pause, further enhancing their experience as they immerse themselves in the park’s scenic landscape
