henderson waves by RSP architects planners and engineers, IJP corporation

henderson waves, jointly designed by RSP architects planners & engineers and
IJP corporation, is singapore's highest pedestrian bridge and was awarded this year's
design of the year for the president's design award at the singapore design week 09.
standing at 36 meters above the ground, in an iconic, sculptural leap spanning across
singapore's henderson road.
based on the principle of parametric design, this new visual symbol has attracted the
community to its walkways and shelters. its three-dimensional surface integrates
structure and form in a unique wave that undulates dramatically over and under
the bridge deck and creating sheltered seating areas inside every upward curve.
with the sensitive use of natural organic shapes and materials such as wood and steel,
this structure helps unite the city's southern ridges, which are comprised of a nine-kilometer
chain of green open spaces spanning the rolling hills of mount faber park, telok blangah hill
park and kent ridge park before ending at west coast park.
