Gagarin Studio and DP Squared Engineers, working with The Landscape Agency have completed a new bridge at RHS Garden Harlow Carr, North Yorkshire. The Thaliana Bridge spans over the Queen Mother Lake at the south end of the gardens creating improved access, new routes and new views to and from the bridge across the water. New lakeside gardens are proposed by The Landscape Agency and an existing bank of trees will be strengthened to provide a more effective buffer to the adjacent road noise. The bridge design is inspired by the pioneering research of Dr Rachel Leech and her genome […]<\/p>\n <\/div>\n \n <\/div>\n<\/div>

The new footbridge for the Climate Innovation District is on the old Low Fold Mill site, \u00a0located over the River Aire in Leeds. The bridge design is a collaborative exploration by GAGARIN and DP Squared and creates a simple yet visually fascinating river crossing for pedestrians either on foot, by bike, wheelchair or boat; connecting\u00a0developments to the left and right bank, the tow path, the wider area of the River Aire and the city centre beyond. The 50 metre long bridge is formed in a series of profiled corten steel slats which appear to fold and crank across its length. […]<\/p>\n <\/div>\n \n <\/div>\n<\/div>

River containment isn\u2019t the solution to flooding and alternative approaches were sought in this International Design Competition for Cork. We developed ideas as part of a wider design team to include DP Squared Structural Engineers, Rootstock Landscape Architects and Miriam O’Keefe – a native Corkian, alongside the team here at Gagarin Studio. Competitions are a great way to explore salient issues and test current thinking with creative solutions. We were pleased to have been part of Cork’s future flood-management thinking and look forward to the exhibition of ideas, later this year. Our scheme addressed the hydrology element of the brief […]<\/p>\n <\/div>\n \n <\/div>\n<\/div>","max_pages":1}
