Cycling Bridge [<02.10.2009] (Changes)

Within its 2009 edition and the theme "It's About Time", EXD and the Galp Energia Foundation invite architects, engineers and all respective firms to design a new infrastructure for the Portuguese capital.

Due to a shared vision for building a legacy of sustainability in Lisbon and Portugal, EXD and the Galp Energia Foundation are collaborating on this landmark project. The bridge will facilitate access over a main motorway for cyclists and pedestrians. Hence, also encouraging the increased use of bicycles in the city.

The competition is open to architects, engineers and all respective firms worldwide. The winner will be awarded €10,000 and, potentially, the contract to design the bridge (construction scheduled for 2010). In addition, there will be two runner-up cash prizes and two honourable mentions. The winning work and jury shortlist will be shown at the Lounging Space during EXD'09, between 3 October (announcement of winner) and 8 November 2009.
