PROJECT GOAL

The shape of the new bridge is articulated to create a curvilinear pedestrian walkway (500 m long), starting

from the level of the city waterfront at + 57.00 m , reaching the top level at 73.25 m (16.25 m slope) and

descending to + 57,3 m on the other side.

The new open air theater, as a polyvalent space inside the park, becomes a new window to Berat, the one

thousand windows city.

The bridge creates a loop, as a fluid element, that hosts an open theater facing the old town and laying on

the island, descending to + 52.8 m.
