The Murmuration is our inspiration.

The ARENA  (Project#0301) is a circular bridge above Guadalupe River, dedicated to public games and artistic activities.

The design team seeks harmonies with the context, provides a seamless connection between people and nature. We also invites people to explore the Confluence with fresh experiences. Inspired by the mesmerizing patterns and synchronized movements of a murmuration of birds, The ARENA embodies a sense of fluidity and organic beauty.

Its construction reflects the 21st century’s Art of Thinking and Art of Building.

With the highest respect to the location, the materials and lighting are carefully studied to minimize impacts on the existing wildlife.

The ARENA is a circular bridge above Guadalupe River. It is also a messenger that goes beyond time and material to transmit unmeasurable values to the next generations.
