BLUE MARINA BRIDGE

Client: Xenom

Computational Design by: KRISTAL.

Location: Ashdod, Israel

Program: Pedestrian Bridge

Size: 160 m2

Status: Built

Year: 2021 - 2023

The concept resolves complex mathematical surfaces into a buildable, double-curved parametric envelope that responds dynamically to its maritime context. The design seeks to bridge the gap between fluid architectural form-finding and optimized, data-driven fabrication logic.

​

The structure aims at integrating advanced manufacturing techniques smoothly into the physical construction process. By engineering the outer shell geometry explicitly for adaptive moulding technology, the design allows 156 double-curved envelope panels to be entirely unique while completely bypassing traditional tooling overheads.

​

The bridge's substructure is conceived as an algorithmically generated network of hundreds of custom, CNC-fabricated brackets. This automated structural system anchors the unique panels directly to the primary frame, managing all downstream numeric data exports and manufacturing quality control loops natively within the script.

​

The Blue Marina Bridge is a high-performance, experiential infrastructure which strives to present the symbiotic relationship between pure computational logic and physical execution.​
