Footbridge 2008

Following the success of the two first International Footbridge Conferences , in Paris 2002 and in Venice 2005, the Faculty of Engineering of the University of Porto (FEUP), in association with the Technical Advisory Bureau for Steel Users (OTUA) are pleased to announce the Third International Conference FOOTBRIDGE 2008, which will be held in Porto, Portugal, from 2 to 4 July 2008.
Bridges embody the overcoming of an obstacle, the opening of a passageway, the discovery of a way through to the other side. Footbridges also offer opportunities to meander above ground or water, to take pedestrians away from the busy traffic in urban areas and to provide unexpected views and enjoyment of the landscape, whether built or natural. More and more often, footbridges are playing a central role in the urban renewal demanded by modern society. It is clear that the beauty and elegance in the architectural concept must spring from simplicity and purity in the structural design, and touch and feel are important aspects of a pedestrian's experience of a footbridge.
