"Rich Bridge," a visionary project crafted by 100architects, reimagines the traditional concept of a bridge by transforming it into a vibrant social space, symbolizing prosperity and good fortune.

Located over the picturesque Sijing Tang River in Sijing Ancient Town, Shanghai, this innovative bridge design marries modernity with traditional Chinese symbolism, creating a unique and inviting urban oasis.

This association with prosperity permeates the very essence of the bridge's design, where eight captivating capsules serve as hubs for social leisure and interaction.

To foster a more pedestrian-friendly environment and enhance social engagement, Rich Bridge optimizes the bridge's available space.

Along the bridge's edge, the eight distinctive capsules are strategically positioned against the handrail, inviting individuals to explore and engage with their surroundings.

Each capsule's design draws inspiration from traditional Chinese architecture, specifically the elegant shapes found in traditional roof structures.

These eight capsules are seamlessly linked together by a vibrant red ribbon that serves both as a framing element for the capsules and as a public high table in between them.

"Rich Bridge" is not just a bridge; it is a symbol of unity, fortune, and the vibrant pulse of urban life, representing a fusion of tradition and modernity that enhances the cultural and social experience of Sijing Ancient Town.
