Charbonnière and Gryonne Footbridges
As part of the third Rhône correction, the cantons of Vaud and Valais are planning new active-mobility crossings in the Chablais. Zeuggin Ingenieure und Gestalter developed two distinct competition entries for the Charbonnière and Gryonne sites. A slender bridge deck, an inclined pylon and long-span cables define both proposals.
Nightnurse created an image series moving between landscape views, spatial experience and technical representation. Centered perspectives along the bridge place future users at the heart of the scene, while views from the riverbanks show how the structures sit within the landscape. The series makes structure, scale and atmosphere immediately legible while presenting the closely related proposals as distinct responses to their respective sites.

Crossing the River at Eye Level
Views along the bridge deck translate the structural concept into an everyday experience. The pylon and cables frame the route, while pedestrians and cyclists establish the scale of the structure.
For Charbonnière and Gryonne, lighting, vegetation and the alpine backdrop were tailored to each location. This keeps the shared design idea recognizable while giving each site a distinct identity.
Structure in Context
A single technical section complements the spatial perspectives. It relates the geometry of the pylon, cables and bridge deck to the river profile and banks, condensing the structural logic into one precise overview.
