스윙 브릿지 도시를 연결하다. 보행자와 자전거 이용자를 위한 브릿지는 바이어 헤드쿼터 앞 구아라피랑가 운하에 위치하며 지역주민 및 바이어 직원들의 커뮤니티 및 인근에 위치한 메트로 이용을 포함하는 동선제공을 위해 설치된다. 브릿지의 중심부에서 90도로 회전하며 육로와 수로를 각각 연결하는 2개의 메탈릭 아일랜드는 콘크리트 주각 위에 원형 상판으로 이루어진 랜드스케이프로 구성되며 90미터에 달하는 브릿지를 연결한다.

The City of São Paulo has few bridges only for cyclists and pedestrians.
In front of the Bayer headquarters, the bridge is located where the Pinheiros river meets the Canal of Guarapiranga’s dam. By connecting both sides of the river, the bicycle path parallel to the river is extended, and citizens, Bayer’s employees and the community around become closer to the metro station.

Besides connecting the two sides of the canal, the bridge generates a place to contemplate the landscape. Two metallic islands over concrete pilotes surve as support for the 90 meters lenth bridge. Those metallic islands are covered by vegetation, a reference to water-lilies, which were the conceptual reference for the project.
In order to maintain the canal navigability, the central span is movable: the two central parts of the linear structure rotate by using electrical motor.
