# Red Ribboned Bridges Pedestrian Footbridge by Bernard Tschumi and Hugh Dutton Associes By Meghan Young | Published 2010-03-18 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bernard-tschumi References: [tschumi](http://www.tschumi.com/projects/35/) Teaming up with Hugh Dutton Associes, Bernard Tschumi has designed a new [pedestrian footbridge](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/three-waves-footbridge) for [La Roche-sur-Yon, France](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mon-nuage). Created in response to the new TGV rail lines in the area, the bridge allows convenient access to either side of the rails. Putting practicalities aside for a moment, I want to bring your attention to Bernard Tschumi and Hugh Datton Associes' design. This bridge has a stunning lattice tubular design and it's something I wish I saw more of around my home town. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.5/10 - Popularity: 21% | Activity: 17% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Tubular Lattice Designs:** Incorporating lattice tubular designs into architecture can create aesthetically pleasing structures, providing an opportunity for innovative architecture. - **Pedestrian Infrastructure Innovation:** Designing pedestrian-friendly infrastructure can improve accessibility and add a unique touch to a city's architecture. - **Transportation-linked Infrastructure:** Creating infrastructure that responds to transportation developments can enhance urban connectivity and create opportunities for innovation. ### Where This Applies - **Architecture:** The incorporation of innovative designs in architecture can provide a distinct market advantage for firms. - **Urban Planning:** Developing pedestrian-friendly urban infrastructure can spur economic growth and enhance quality of life in urban areas. - **Transportation:** Developing infrastructure around transportation networks can improve transport access and drive revenue growth for transportation companies. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Pedestrian Viaduct Extension](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vincent-boutin.md) - [Sculptural Pedestrian Bridges](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/asiatdarse.md) - [Taiwan Coastal Bridges](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-danjiang-bridge.md) - [Spirally Viewpoint Bridge Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/g-clef-bridge.md) - [Block-Long Timber Bridges](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/timber-bridge.md) - [Poised Medieval-Themed Buildings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tintagel-castle-footbridge.md) - [Sheltered Timber Chinese Bridges](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fw-ji-covered-bridge-on-aqueduct.md) - [Tunnel Six-Lane Highway](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/land-bridge-and-prairie.md) - [Triple Path Footbridges](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/three-waves-footbridge.md)
