of Sofia\u2019s Department of Architecture and Urban Planning to find the most suitable way to internally connect Sofia\u2019s South Park, currently split by the busy Byala Cherkva road. The park is a centrepiece of the urban landscape of the Bulgarian capital, as public leisure space as well as an element with a strong positive effect on the city\u2019s microclimate. It also acts as a corridor for connecting flora and fauna from Vitosha Mountain to the centre of Sofia. Once completed, the bridge will provide a continuous pedestrian promenade and cycling path through the entire length of the park, from the National Palace of Culture to the South Park III section \u2013 the largest, most biodiverse and most popular part of the park.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>PROJECT INFORMATION:<\/strong><br>Location: Sofia, Bulgaria<br>Client: City of Sofia<br>Architect: Boele architects<br>Structural engineer: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.archidust.com\/brand-details\/BuroHappold-Engineering-745\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Buro Happold<\/a><\/p><div id=\"archi-928122681\" class=\"archi-horizontal-in-content archi-entity-placement\"><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js\"><\/script>\r\n<!-- Horizontal responsive -->\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-1313562808736279\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"4811561488\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"auto\"\r\n     data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"717\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.archidust.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Sofia-Boele-03-Visualisation-2DRStudio-717x1024.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2269\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.archidust.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Sofia-Boele-03-Visualisation-2DRStudio-717x1024.webp 717w, https:\/\/www.archidust.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Sofia-Boele-03-Visualisation-2DRStudio-210x300.webp 210w, https:\/\/www.archidust.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Sofia-Boele-03-Visualisation-2DRStudio-768x1097.webp 768w, https:\/\/www.archidust.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Sofia-Boele-03-Visualisation-2DRStudio-1075x1536.webp 1075w, https:\/\/www.archidust.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Sofia-Boele-03-Visualisation-2DRStudio-77x110.webp 77w, https:\/\/www.archidust.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Sofia-Boele-03-Visualisation-2DRStudio-175x250.webp 175w, https:\/\/www.archidust.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Sofia-Boele-03-Visualisation-2DRStudio-381x544.webp 381w, https:\/\/www.archidust.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Sofia-Boele-03-Visualisation-2DRStudio-150x214.webp 150w, https:\/\/www.archidust.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Sofia-Boele-03-Visualisation-2DRStudio-jpg.webp 1400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 717px) 100vw, 717px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Image courtesy of Boele architects<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The curvilinear bridge slopes gently upward, satisfying clearance requirements over Byala Cherkva and winding through the park\u2019s dense greenery as it crosses the Perlovska River.

It does not interrupt the surroundings and is very well integrated around the river, allowing for the crossing and also creating a new experience in the city. With this design, Sofia is at the same level of public space design as Copenhagen, Zurich and other cities.\u2019<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Petr Suma, founder of Boele architects: <\/strong><em>\u2018South Park is a key recreational area for Sofia, and we knew that our design needed to be humble and reinforce the beautiful context we were stepping into. We wanted to introduce a structure that is not only simple and functional, but also in full harmony with its surroundings.\u2019<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The bridge\u2019s design and structural engineering sensitively reflect its natural setting. The bridge will be constructed with a timber module system, a method that will limit the project\u2019s carbon footprint and reduce the impact of construction on the natural surroundings. In total, the bridge measures approximately 325 metres long. Its structural system consists of a continuous beam with spans ranging from 13 to 15 metres in length. The 450-millimetre-deep deck varies in width between 4.5 and 6.5 metres and is divided into sections, each between 20 and 24 metres long, that are joined with steel connectors. The timber deck is supported by steel columns that are set at an incline to minimise the bridge\u2019s footprint and maintain a maximum 15-metre span for each section.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure
