架构师提供的文本描述。连接高科技公园和Beer-Sheva Tzafon火车站(和本-古里安大学)的新人行桥于2016年6月12日正式启用。在210米长，钢桥是一个风景的参照点，因为它跨越活跃和运营和铁路以及未来的地点。该桥的设计采用了200多种不同的钢梁截面，构成了其独特的几何形状-四个钢拱、卷曲和扭转，形成了两个宽透镜，开口分别为110米和70米。这一独特设计的功劳属于律师、猎户座建筑师和Rokach Ashkenazi工程师。

Text description provided by the architects. The new pedestrian bridge, connecting the high-tech park and the Beer-Sheva Tzafon train station (and Ben-Gurion University), was officially inaugurated and opened on 12 June, 2016. At some 210 meters long, the steel bridge is a scenic point of reference as it spans over the active and operational and railways and the site of future ones. The bridge’s design incorporates over 200 types of different steel beam cross-sections, making up its unique geometry – four steel arches, curling and twisting, creating two broad lenses with openings of 110 meters and 70 meters. The credit for this unique design goes to Bar Orian Architects and Rokach Ashkenazi Engineers.

高科技园区位于距贝尔谢瓦火车站步行不远的地方。直到最近，那些开车到公园上班，在几百米外看到办公室的员工，还得乘出租车或公共汽车绕过火车站和邻近的社区，才能到达工作地点。这个问题在公园的设计和建设中已经是一个众所周知的问题，为了解决这个问题，贝尔谢瓦市发起了一场“完美桥”设计的建筑竞赛。这座桥旨在为行人和骑自行车的人解决公园的通行问题，并成为新公园的象征，成为新兴景观中的一个独特参照点。许多公司被邀请为未来的桥梁提交他们的建议，律师猎户座建筑师赢得了与Rokach Ashkenazi咨询工程师的比赛。

The high-tech park is located within walking distance from the Beer Sheva Tzafon train station. Until recently, employees who had arrived at their jobs in the park by car, and saw their offices just hundreds of meters away, had to take taxis or busses to bypass the train station and the adjacent neighborhood in order to arrive at work. This problem was already a known issue during the park’s design and construction, and to address it, the Municipality of Beer Sheva initiated an architectural competition for the design of the “perfect bridge.” The bridge was to provide a solution for the park’s access problem for pedestrians and bicyclists, as well as become a symbol to the new park and become a unique point of reference in the new emerging landscape. Many firms were invited to submit their suggestions for the future bridge, and Bar Orian Architects won the competition along with Rokach Ashkenazi Consulting Engineers.

人行天桥为科技园与火车站之间提供了一种方便、实用的桥梁，也是风景演变过程中的一个独特而重要的参照点。目标是创建一个桥接结构，而不是连接两端的技术元素-一个结构元素，它是一个架构元素，产生运动和变化。工程和设计方案基于四个钢拱，扭曲和起伏，创造了两个“眼睛”之间的空间。拱形构筑物为行人创造了一个受保护的空间，这是一次体验和独占的旅程，每一步都会展现出令人惊讶的形状、材料和景观。该桥体现在拱门、二次基础和连接单元设计中的运动，其灵感来源于列车站台之间无休止的动态性。其结果是一个由三个支座组成的空间-一个在桥的边缘，第三个在计划的火车站台上。

The pedestrian bridge provides a useful and convenient connection between the technological park and the train station, as well as a unique and significant point of reference in the evolving scenery. The goal was to create a bridging structure as opposed to a technical element connecting two ends – a structure that is an architectural element, generating movement and change. The engineering and design scheme are based on four steel arches which twist and undulate, creating two “eyes” in the space between them. The arched formation creates a protected space for pedestrians, an experiential and exclusive journey, in which each step reveals a surprising view of shapes, materials, and sights. The bridge embodies movement which can been seen in the design of the arches, the secondary foundations and the connecting elements, movement whose inspiration is suggested by  the endless dynamics taking place among the train platforms below. The result is a structure that is a space with three supports – one at each edges of the bridge, the third at the planned train platform.

这座桥长210米。它的上部是屋顶，以保护和遮挡阳光，沙尘暴和雨。侧面是开放的，以允许流动的自然空气和眼睛接触周围的环境。这样，壳作为一个气候要素，因为天然的开口允许最大限度地控制空气流动和过滤，遮阳和过滤自然光在广阔的沙漠。

The bridge is 210 meters long. Its upper part is roofed to provide protection and shade from the sun, dust, sand storms, and rain. The sides are open to allow the flow of natural air and eye contact with the surrounding environment. This way, the shell serves as a climatic element, as the natural of the openings allow maximal control over air flow and filtration, shading, and filtering of natural light in the spaciousness of the desert.

这座桥的照明设计很大程度上来自于它的建筑结构，没有打算在夜间讲述与白天不同的故事。有一个过程，决定在晚上显示什么-什么照明。其结果是，这座桥似乎在夜间盘旋，仿佛它是从地面升起的，以便让火车从下面通过。

The lighting design for the bridge was very much derived from the architecture of it; there was no intention of telling a different story at night than during the day. There was a process of deciding what to show at night – what to light. The result is that the bridge almost appears to be hovering at night as if it was lifted off the ground to allow the trains to pass underneath.

The light fittings are all integrated in the structure and are not obvious. The light creates a rhythm that enhances the flow of the structure at night.

夜间有一种强烈的安全感和安全感，但由于主要照明的是结构，而不是道路，所以桥上仍然有一种非常轻松和亲密的气氛。

There is a strong sense of safety and security at night but because what is mainly lit is the structure and not the path there is still a very relaxed and intimate atmosphere on the bridge.
