# Swirling Spiral Overpasses The 'Amsterdam bridge V' Produces Its Own Energy By Harris Jay Rosenberg Alterman | Published 2012-04-21 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/amsterdam-bridge-v References: [psfk](http://www.psfk.com/2012/04/spiral-bridge-separates-pedestrians-cyclists.html) & [yaohuawangarchitecture](http://yaohuawangarchitecture.com/Amsterdam-bridge-V) The 'Amsterdam bridge V' by Yaohua Wang Architecture has a twisting steel design which makes it look like it was made for a video game. In fact, this bridge is made for real life and has several features that make it unlike any other type of overpass. The bridge has [two separate pathways](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vincent-boutin); one is designated for pedestrians and the other is for cyclists. These paths meet at the bridge's hub where one can truly view the amazing design on the architecture. The [spiral structure](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pasona-natureverse-pavilion) is only only majestic and beautiful but it also helps the bridge balance. On top of the swirls there are [solar and wind plants](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/michael-jantzen-2) which would feed energy into the program for the bridge. This project is still just a concept, but it may further develop if it gets enough attention. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.0/10 - Popularity: 55% | Activity: 56% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Spiral Overpasses:** Designing overpasses with unique spiral structures and energy-generating features - **Renewable Energy Infrastructure:** Incorporating renewable energy technology into bridges and other infrastructure projects - **Multimodal Pathways:** Creating separate and designated pathways for pedestrians and cyclists on bridges and overpasses ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Architecture and Engineering:** Opportunities to create unique and functional infrastructure projects with energy-generating features - **Renewable Energy:** Industry potential for integrating renewable energy technology into innovative infrastructure projects - **Transportation:** Developing infrastructure projects that prioritize multimodal transportation solutions ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Triple Path Footbridges](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/three-waves-footbridge.md) - [Sculptural Pedestrian Bridges](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/asiatdarse.md) - [Welded Steel Cantilevered Footbridges](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sculptural-footbridge.md) - [Taiwan Coastal Bridges](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-danjiang-bridge.md) - [Artful Cartoonish Canal Bridges](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/canal-skybridge.md) - [Adaptive Parking Structures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/niels-bohr-car-park.md) - [Pedestrian Viaduct Extension](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vincent-boutin.md) - [Solar Energy Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/michael-jantzen-2.md) - [Tunnel Six-Lane Highway](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/land-bridge-and-prairie.md)
