049 | Olivija Mikniūtė | Urban Waves Promenade

This project reimagines a railway bridge as a vibrant, multifunctional public space where infrastructure and nature are thoughtfully integrated. Instead of serving only as a transport route, the bridge is transformed into a green pedestrian promenade that invites people to walk, relax, and connect. Landscaped areas with diverse vegetation and comfortable seating zones create a welcoming environment above the city, offering a unique perspective of the urban landscape.

The design focuses on sustainability by incorporating eco-friendly materials and plant life that help improve air quality, reduce noise, and support urban biodiversity. The greenery also contributes to a more pleasant microclimate, making the space enjoyable throughout different seasons.

Accessibility and inclusivity are key priorities, ensuring that people of all ages and abilities can use and enjoy the space. Overall, the project turns underused infrastructure into a lively public destination that promotes social interaction, environmental awareness, and a higher quality of urban life.
