Friedrich Bayer Bridge, Sao Paulo
Kaushik Monday, July 18, 2016 

The Friedrich Bayer Bridge is located in front of headquarters 
of the German multinational pharmaceutical company Bayer, 
in Sao Paulo, Brazil. The pedestrian and bicycle bridge, 
commissioned by Bayer, spans the Guarapiranga Canal at the 
confluence with the Pinheiros River. By connecting both sides 
of the river, the bridge extends the bicycle path that runs 
parallel to the river, as well as provide commuters access 
to the metro station.

Inspired by waterlilies, the bridge consists of two round platforms 
or islands, 5.4 meters (17.7 feet) in diameter, supported by concrete pillars 
and surrounded by mini gardens planted with native species. The 
vegetation is expected to reduce carbon dioxide emissions into the 
atmosphere by around 300 tons per year.

The central span, connecting the two islands, is movable and can 
be swept open to create a 12-meter wide navigable path. The 
entire bridge is 90 meters in length. The main deck is made of 
see-through metal grating and wood planks. Different materials 
were used to separate pedestrian traffic from the cyclist route. 
Built at a cost of $5 million, the Friedrich Bayer Bridge is 
expected to serve 300,000 in the metropolitan region.

Bayer commissioned Loeb Capote Architects to design a small scale bridge for cyclists and pedestrians adjacent to the Bayer Headquarters in Sao Paulo, Brazil. The bridge built over the Guarapiranga Canal at the confluence with the Pinheiros River, made possible the implementation of a new 3 km cycle route that runs parallel to the river on the western bank, connecting the district of Socorro to the nearby Santo Amaro, train and metro station.

Friedrich Bayer Bridge is expected to benefit over 15,000 people 
daily, including Bayer's over 2000 employees and overall have a 
positive impact on over 300,000 people and the urban landscape of 
the metropolitan region. The project was a collaboration between 
Bayer Brazil, the Department of Energy and the Metropolitan Water 
and Energy Company (EMAE). While the structure itself was fully 
funded by Bayer costing approximately $2 million, the total cost 
of the project was approximately $5 million the remainder being 
funded by the city for the riverbank regeneration. The bridge and 
the new Eco Commercial Building (ECB) also designed by Loeb Capote 
Architects are proof of Bayer's commitment to sustainable development.
