A problem? On the site of the demolished Franz Joseph bridge, design a new, inhabited one, a heterotopy that faces two different spaces while creating a new one, a hybrid of the two. The curve, being the main characteristic of the project, is used as a tool for achieving inhomogeneous typology of units with the rise and decline of the storey level following this parabola. Against it, the traffic infrastructure is set supporting both motor and pedestrian communication. Spaces like these, being the result of a consensus, manage to generate new, unique medium, characterized by its unique position. One curve, stretched in-between the spaces becomes a place of living and loses its usual function and anonymity of being just a means of connection of point A and B. Hybrid like this one enables different relations and connections of users, from which new ways of space usage arises.
