"Floating archipelago" is a leisure place in urban area, a unique foothold in the convergent world, and a natural place in the artificial world. Through a series of analysis on the flow of people, line of sight, scenery and function demand, the planning structure and layout of the bridge are clarified. The landscape is divided based on the shortest common path of predicted flow of people, so as to form an island space of different sizes and shapes, which is put into a variety of different crowd needs. Each "island" in the "floating archipelago" has its own theme.
