One side of the river is Hermitage museum which holds a collection of impressionism and modern art, while on the other there is Collectie Six which holds a rare personal collection, and on the other side is the Blauwbrug Bridge and Magerebrug Bridge, which is passed by the ships passing.

However, the distance between the two bridges is not close, it takes time and complicates pedestrians.
Aim to create a new connection with two access points to anyone to pass through. The bridge looks mystical, floating and flowing with an elongated shape that supports the emphasis on movement through and around the museum and gallery from the right and left to stay connected, attract people, increase the use and function of city infrastructure.
Beginning with the arrangement and integration of the transition of museums and gallery, the bridge concept works from two sides based on detailed research on travel by providing different of pedestrian art exhibition characters to enhance the art experience for visitors as well as the artists who create and display their work. Building form and building organization allows continuous path through a series of day lit galleries and zones with varying quality of space generated by geometry and proportion of bridges and their relation to the immediate context.
The pedestrian spaces serve as an exhibition space for art with spatially changing qualities, visual and physical connections to non-art exhibition zones and outward with typical Amstel sights – the scenic vistas of boats and historic buildings which accomodated by cantilevered structure guarantees an exciting and stimulating art experience in every area this bridge.
