Henderson Waves
Undulating pedestrian bridge with wooden wave ribs that form sheltered alcoves high above the trees.
This guide to Henderson Waves in Singapore explains how the country's highest pedestrian bridge got its undulating form, when architects RSP and George Legendre of IJP Corporation won an international competition with a design generated from a single algebraic equation rather than a sketch. You'll hear how engineers had to build what the formula drew, and how the balau-clad ribs dip below the deck to form sheltered alcoves with benches. Run a hand along one rib and feel the warmth of the wood.
