The enriching co-existence of uses and users forms an essential part of the ideas behind programming the public spaces yet it can also generate conflictive situations. It is thus necessary to conciliate the different rhythms, setting aside specific differentiated spaces, away from busier or faster moving areas, for more relaxing, contemplative or slow moving uses.
Inside the Arganzuela Bridge cycle and pedestrian transit takes place separately and at different levels. This split level is used to create stepped seating. The Ipe decking brings uniformity to the three strips.
