Solar Skywalks Energetic Activation of Footbridges

Peter Kuczia Energetic Activation of Footbridges Architecture

Solar Skywalks

World's metropolises - like Beijing - have a large number of footbridges traversing busy traffic arteries. They are often unattractive, downgrading the overall urban impression. Designers' idea of cladding the footbridges with aesthetic, power generating PV modules and transforming them into attractive city spots is not only sustainable but creates a sculptural diversity that becomes an eye-catcher in the cityscape. E-car or E-bike charging stations under the footbridges utilize the solar energy directly on site.

Solar Skywalks Energetic Activation of Footbridges by Peter Kuczia has been recognized as an exceptional example of architectural design by the A' Design Award & Competition. Solar Skywalks Energetic Activation of Footbridges earned the Platinum A' Design Award in Architecture, Building and Structure Design in 2020. The A' Architecture, Building and Structure Design Award is a highly prestigious, international, juried design accolade which honors superior design of skyscrapers, museums, residential buildings, commercial complexes, educational institutions, religious structures, infrastructure designs, landscaping projects and more.
