| Title of the article | Bridges and covered transitions in architecture of multipurpose public complexes |
| Abstract. | The covered transition is one of the types of the pedestrian bridge which consists of flying parts between amounts two buildings, being under a canopy. With the development of architecture and construction for the last several decades figurative and functional characteristics of the covered transitions have undergone some changes. Bridges and the covered transitions in multipurpose public complexes carry out functions of a recreation, include restaurants, pools, observation decks, cafe, clubs, exhibition galleries, shops, gyms, libraries. In addition the covered transitions do more organic functioning of separately taken buildings, such as communication of Royal theater and Royal ballet school, communication of multi-level car park and the business center, and even the communication of residential and public buildings. On bridges and the covered transitions establish wind generators, and transitions carry out constructive functions, giving to construction additional spatial rigidity. Having received rudiments in the ancient time (as, for example, Vzdokhov Bridge), in the modern architecture use of bridges and the covered transitions becomes more and more demanded acceptance at the famous architects, such as Moshe Safdi, Stephen Hall, C?sar Pelly, George Portman. In modern architecture application of such acceptance as use of bridges and the covered transitions in multipurpose public buildings becomes more and more convenient, effective. This direction will develop as a means of consolidation in an urban environment in the conditions of an ever-increasing urbanization. |
