Welle von Bern, Pedestrian bridge at Bern Railway Station, Switzerland
The Welle von Bern spans railway tracks with six wave-shaped roofs, connecting sectors C and D of the western side of Bern station.
The Swiss Federal Railways received the Wakker Prize in 2005 partly due to this 25-million-franc construction, completed in December 2004.
Architects Ursula Stücheli and Beat Mathys from Smarch studio designed this 13.3-meter-wide structure to replace an older crossing without elevators.
The covered walkway provides direct access to train platforms through multiple elevators and escalators, serving thousands of passengers daily.
The wave-like formation of six interconnected roofs creates a distinctive silhouette above the railway tracks of Switzerland's capital city.
