The Pirouette Bridge is located in Yanhe Park of Mai-Gao district, Nanjing, China. The hilly terrain of the site and the weaving folds along the river not only naturally present the district's unique landscape textures, but also marks the absence of communication from both sides as well. Therefore, the bridge is designed to bring new connectivity for the community of this regional park, by transforming the complexity of the terrain into a new experience and integrating the river embankment, pedestrian path, bicycle path and outdoor event space within a traditional form.
