Peace Bridge, Concrete bridge in Naka-ku, Japan
The Peace Bridge spans the Motoyasu River with distinctive railings featuring curved geometric patterns made from polished concrete and steel elements.
Built in 1952 following Hiroshima's reconstruction plans, the bridge replaced an earlier wooden structure that was destroyed during the 1945 atomic bombing.
Isamu Noguchi designed the bridge railings to symbolize creation and renewal, naming the eastern structure 'Tsukuru', which means 'to build' in Japanese.
The bridge carries pedestrian and vehicle traffic along the 100-meter wide Peace Boulevard, connecting the Peace Memorial Park to central Hiroshima.
The bridge incorporates solar motifs in its eastern railing design, while its western counterpart features a ship's keel pattern representing departure.
