Circular platforms topped by tall masts make up a bridge for pedestrians and cyclists that spans Copenhagen’s Christianshavns Kanal. Thin steel cables extend from the top of the masts – the highest of which rises up twenty-five metres – to the platform’s circular railings. Accessible via ramps at each end, the five steel platforms vary in diameter from ten to fourteen metres and are arranged to create a staggered, zigzag path that inspires uncertainty and pause.
Cirkelbroen is lit at night, and one section rotates to allow large boats to pass into and out of the canal.
