Everyone should be able to move through our shared public spaces and buildings in a safe and dignified way. In complex environments such as stations, terminals, and other public transport hubs, universal design is not just a feature – it’s a fundamental design principle that ensures equal access and high functionality for all, regardless of physical or cognitive ability.
UdforskRenovation of The Prince’s Bridge near Christiansborg blends classic and modern

The Prince’s Bridge
Copenhagen, Denmark
Gottlieb Paludan Architects is the firm that has been overseeing the restoration of the Prince’s Bridge near Christiansborg, home of the Danish Parliament. The newly constructed bridge is all the stronger now, occupying a striking position in the interplay between the classical and the modern.
The newly constructed bridge has retained as much as possible of the historic bridge. The original bridge piers and original lampposts have been preserved and re-used in the new bridge. The decking has been replaced with a new concrete deck, cast in-situ, and the new railings have been made from bent steel.
The railings have been designed as a re-interpretation of the pointed or Gothic arc motif that was characteristic of the original cast-iron heritage railings.
