Gumu Engineering Case | Tabiat Pedestrian Bridge in Iran (One of the World's Top Five Bridges)

Project Address: Tehran, Iran

Local Climate: Tropical desert climate

Completion Date: October 2014

Resysta Usage Area: 6000 square meters

Resysta Usage Areas: Pedestrian walkways, resting benches, stair steps

     The Tabiat Pedestrian Bridge won the Aga Khan Award for Architecture in 2016, highly recognized by the Muslim community, and is acclaimed as one of the world's best five bridges.

The highlight of this bridge is that the designer transformed the 'bridge' into a 'destination' that attracts people to gather, interact, and enjoy the surrounding scenery. This pedestrian bridge has become a walking space in modern Tehran and can even be considered one of the most successful public spaces.

 

The Tabiat Pedestrian Bridge spans a busy highway, connecting two parks separated by the road. The area features a dense urban fabric with mostly utilitarian architectural styles. The bridge not only connects the two separated green spaces but also serves as a gathering place for Tehran residents. It offers numerous resting seats across three levels and has restaurants at both ends, making it a popular spot for locals to relax and sightsee.

Resysta stands out among many outdoor materials partly because of the designers' consistent pursuit of environmental protection concepts and partly because, under the harsh Middle Eastern climate, designers had to find a high-performance outdoor material best suited to the local environment. Five years after the completion of the Tabiat Bridge, despite exposure to sun and rain, no issues have appeared.

Standing on the bridge, every step is paved with Resysta material, whose high-quality wood texture complements the natural scenery; its anti-slip, waterproof, and scratch-resistant properties bear the weight of history; its UV resistance withstands the test of time and climate, recording the unique atmosphere and memories of the city. Resysta gives life and soul to this bridge, turning it into a beautiful landmark and an iconic structure.
