What are the types of bridges in garden waterscape?

Bridge and its culture is an important part of traditional garden culture in China. Bridges with different styles and styles are an important part of garden landscape. Next, I will tell you about the types of bridges in garden waterscape. Come and have a look!

Pavilion Bridge and Corridor Bridge

This kind of bridge has not only traffic function, but also recreation function and landscape effect, which is very suitable for garden requirements. For example, there are pavilion bridges such as Youfeng Bridge, Jingqiao Bridge, Lianqiao Bridge and Lvliu Bridge on the west embankment of the Summer Palace in Beijing.

These bridges play the role of point view and rest on the long dike tour line, breaking the lateral composition of the upper dike from a distance, and have the functions of contrasting and beautifying and dividing the water level.

Flower Bridge in Qixingyan, Guilin, this long covered bridge is the first landscape building leading to the entrance of the park. Wu Ting Bridge of Slender West Lake in Yangzhou is the main landscape building on the long axis of Slender West Lake.

The pavilion is one of the entertainment buildings in the garden, built by the water. Is it recorded in Yuan Ye? The pavilion is borrowed, the scenery is made, the water is made, or the flowers are made. Is the system also dependent on the state? It shows that the pavilion is a kind of garden recreation building known for its surrounding scenery.

Its basic feature is facing the water, paying special attention to borrowing water scenery. Functionally, it should not only meet the needs of tourists to rest, but also have the function of watching and decorating the scenery.

The most common forms of waterside pavilions are: building a platform by the water, enclosing the platform with low railings, making an opening at the shore leading to the water, and building a single building on the platform. The building plane is usually rectangular, and all four sides of the building are open and transparent, or all four sides are long windows.

There are many ways to combine pavilions with water. Seen from the plane, there are forms such as one side facing the water, two sides facing the water, three sides facing the water and four sides facing the water. And those around the water are connected to the lakeshore by bridges.

From the profile, there are some solid earth platforms, and water only surrounds the platforms. But some platforms are supported by stone beam-column structures, and water can flow into the bottom of some buildings, and some can even let water flow into the bottom of the whole building, forming the effect of riding on the blue waves.

The original meaning of a ship is a boat, generally referring to a boat. The ship on the building refers to a building by water, a boat-shaped building built by the water of garden lakes. The lower hull of a ship is generally made of stone, and the upper cabin is mostly made of wood, which looks like a ship.

Ships are built on water, generally facing water on two or three sides, and the rest are connected with land, preferably facing water on all sides. One side of the boat is connected to the shore of the lake with a flat bridge, just like a springboard. It stands in the water, is connected with the shore environment, extends the space, and has a variety of contact methods, which can highlight the theme and further express the design intention.

Also known as Tingbu and Jumping Pier, although this is the most primitive form of water crossing, it has long been replaced by new technology, but it can still be used in gardens to play an interesting cross-water scene, which makes people feel close to the water when walking in Tingbu. Tinbu is most suitable for shallow streams with small spans. There are also dam steps in combination with the roller compacted dam, but attention should be paid to safety.

beam bridge

There are beams crossing the water, and the single-plank bridge is the most primitive beam bridge. It can still be used on the water surface of small rivers and streams in the garden. Even if the water surface is not deep, piers can be built to form multi-span bridges. The beam bridge is flat and easy to walk and open to traffic.

In the design of waterfront landscape, the beam bridge can not only organize traffic, but also combine with the surrounding environment to form a poetic artistic conception, which is intriguing.

arch bridge

Arch bridge is the creation of a long-span project built of stone, which has been used for a long time in China. There are various forms of arch bridges, from single arch, three arches to continuous multi-arches, which are convenient to choose according to the requirements of different environments in the garden. Functionally, it is also very suitable for the requirements of upper traffic and lower navigation.

Arch bridge has a unique landscaping effect in gardens. So there is? Changhong lies, and the reflection becomes a ring? Description. Such as Yudai Bridge and Seventeen-hole Bridge in Beijing. Yudai Bridge is the only high arch stone bridge on the west dike. The arch is tall and thin, like a jade belt dancing on the water. It is complex in shape and exquisite in structure, and presents a beautiful reflection on the water.

float bridge

The pontoon bridge is a simple and temporary way to cross the wide water. We can avoid the engineering measures such as pier foundation, only replace the upper beam slab of pier with ships or pontoons, and fix it with ropes to form a popular pontoon.

In the design of waterfront landscape, it plays many roles, but its focus is not on organizing traffic. Because it is solid and unstable, people stand on it, giving people a sense of unease. Using the unstable factors of pontoon bridge can form a strong contrast with the static state of water, and can stimulate people's enterprising spirit of taking risks and being proactive.

suspension bridge

There is no condition to build piers under rapids, deep streams, alpine canyons and bridges. For example, the southwest of China is the most suitable place to build suspension bridges. It can straddle the water for a long time, hanging without falling down.

The suspension bridge has a beautiful curve, giving people a sense of lightness. Standing on the bridge, you can see from a distance or observe from a close distance. With the development of science and technology in China, there will be more light suspension bridges with beautiful curves in the waterfront landscape design in the future.
