# Skyscraper Cycle Bridges The Copenhagen Gate Features a Joining of Two 65-Foot Buildings By M | Published 2015-11-24 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cycle-bridge References: [dezeen](http://www.dezeen.com/2015/11/23/steven-holl-copenhagen-gate-pair-skyscrapers-linked-cycle-pedestrian-bridge/) & [stevenholl](http://www.stevenholl.com/) The [Steven Holls Architects](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hudson-lhouse) group has recently put together a project dubbed the [Copenhagen Gate](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/skylab) that joins together two harbor skyscrapers using a cycle bridge that is 65-feet above the water below. The bridge offers passage for both bike riders and pedestrians to cross over between the two structures effortlessly. The Copenhagen Gate is a long spanning bridge design that will connect two different areas of the harbor together. The design particularly focuses on the design of the bridge being greatly above water, roughly 65-feet in the air. The bridge will have a covered top allowing both bikers and pedestrians to walk effortlessly between the two spaces no matter what the weather conditions are. The bridge provides easy passage in a space where there naturally is none. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.3/10 - Popularity: 72% | Activity: 49% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Gen X - Top markets: North America, 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 - **Cycle Bridges in Skyscrapers:** Architecture firms can explore joining skyscrapers with cycle bridges as a unique selling point and a way to promote sustainable transportation. - **High Altitude Connected Structures:** There is an opportunity for architects and engineers to design and construct high altitude structures, such as cycle bridges, to connect spaces together in innovative ways. - **Weather-protected Pedestrian Passages:** Architects and designers can create covered, weather-protected passages for pedestrians and cyclists in areas where natural passage is difficult or impossible. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Architecture:** Architecture firms can explore the integration of cycle bridges in buildings and high altitude structure design to provide a unique selling point. - **Construction:** Construction companies can capitalize on the demand for high altitude structures and weather-protected pedestrian passages by providing innovative and sustainable building solutions. - **Transportation:** As sustainable transportation becomes increasingly popular, there is an opportunity for companies in the transportation industry to invest in cycle bridges and other infrastructure that promote active transportation. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Artful Cartoonish Canal Bridges](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/canal-skybridge.md) - [Welded Steel Cantilevered Footbridges](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sculptural-footbridge.md) - [Block-Long Timber Bridges](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/timber-bridge.md) - [Spirally Viewpoint Bridge Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/g-clef-bridge.md) - [Taiwan Coastal Bridges](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-danjiang-bridge.md) - [Cross-Seat Bridge Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shenzhenzhongshan-link.md) - [Underwater Bicycle Parks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ijboulevard.md) - [Tunnel Six-Lane Highway](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/land-bridge-and-prairie.md) - [Bridge-Defining Tranquil Cities](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mindfulness-city.md)
