The manipulation of the ground and the articulation of the structure as another form of landscape resurfaced again in the project for the CYTA footbridge.Our proposal suggested the provision of a footbridge that would address the question of its urban context by interweaving existing and proposed circulation with its urban landscape. The bridge and a thin concrete platform on its southern side become new spaces in the city and along with the different layers of people moving past each other in the park and on the coastal promenades, offer a unique variety of experiences.The concrete platform acts as a balcony on the beach and offers visitors unobstructed views of the sea, the promenade and the surrounding coastal area of ​​Limassol. A glass elevator pierces this platform and when illuminated at night it acts as a huge floor lamp on the beach projecting the vertical movement of the human shadow. Its’ lit enclosure is recognized as a lighthouse when approached from the sea. The glass walls of the elevator become an urban billboard and accommodate the sign of CYTA, the main sponsor of the project.
