Wenxing Bridge is conceived as a hybrid cultural infrastructure that transforms the act of crossing into a shared architectural experience.

In a rapidly evolving era, collective life cultivates shared care and aspirations. We aim to preserve this foundation of commonality by embedding cultural continuity within everyday spaces.



Bridges are often perceived as pure circulation systems. For Wenxing Bridge, the essence of a system lies in connection. Connection must remain fluid, active, and socially engaged. The project not only shapes a physical bridge but choreographs a spatial framework that supports ongoing community interaction, cultural rituals, and local economic vitality.



The proposal integrates soft social institutions—customs, gatherings, festivals—with hard infrastructure—structure, landscape, and mobility—to sustain the ecological and social resilience of Yongxin. By reimagining the bridge as a slow-traffic public realm, we cultivate local production of both material and culture. Community life becomes the generator of space, and space becomes the catalyst for exchange and preservation.



The design minimizes the conflict between infrastructure and everyday landscape. Wenxing Bridge adapts to daily routines, guiding behaviors, social atmosphere, and cultural belonging. It provides fluid, flexible spaces rooted in real needs, extending the authenticity of Yongxin’s living traditions into the future. Through this hybrid typology, the bridge evolves into a common ground, reconnecting people with each other, with history, and with the river that sustains them.
