架构师提供的文本描述。桥是一个临时的特定地点的设施，是游乐场卡纳尔城市节的一部分。这个节日的重点是布鲁塞尔的运河区，并试图通过一系列活动将这条边界线从社会和空间上转变为一个有约束力的因素。该组织最初邀请Gijs Van Vaerenbergh为位于北火车站轴线和旅游景点的B柱大楼的艺术节演讲场所设计场景。

Text description provided by the architects. Bridge was a temporary site-specific installation, being part of the Playground Kanal city festival. This festival focuses on the canal zone in Brussels and tries through a series of activities to transform this border line, both socially and spatially, into a binding element. The organisation initially invited Gijs Van Vaerenbergh for the design of a scenography for the festival talking place at the B-post building, situated on the axis of the North railway station and the site of Tour & Taxis. However, they proposed the construction a temporary pedestrian bridge, physically embodying the ambitions of the festival, namely creating a connection between both sides of the canal. This intervention took place on the exact same location where for many years procedures have been running to construct a permanent bridge, but without results because of the complexity of the administrative and political context.

 Isometric Detail

等距细节

Gijs Van Vaerenbergh的临时桥梁可以与早期的项目相比较，试验非常规使用建筑起重机。对于“桥”，艺术家二重奏条纹典型的起重机的功能使用，并将他们水平地超过运河。北站和皮卡德街之间，节日中心和城市里其他热闹的景点之间有连接。就在震中，在布鲁塞尔市和它的海港之间。

The temporary bridge of Gijs Van Vaerenbergh can be put in relation to earlier projects, experimenting with the unconventional use of building cranes. For ‘Bridge’ the artist duo stripes the typical cranes of their functional usage and place them horizontal over the canal. A connection is made between the North station and Picard Street, and between the festival centre and other lively spots in the city. Right on the epicentre in-between the city of Brussels and its harbour.
