Atmospheric connections

Transitions between buildings

When two buildings are connected, transitions of special quality and specific atmosphere are often created. The so-called "Seufzerbrücken", named after the Venetian model, the "Ponte dei Sospiri", came to particular fame.

Modern interpretations are often more exciting: the spiral transition between two high buildings of the Polish architectural office Zalewski. A 80-centimeter wide loop that protrudes from one window and disappears in another. Another notable example of a transition between two buildings is a school by architect Li Xiaodong. In Fujian (China) he built a bridge over a river between two ancient fortresses, in which is now learned.
