South Bank Grand Arbour, Covered pedestrian walkway in South Bank Parklands, Brisbane, Australia.
The South Bank Grand Arbour extends for one kilometer through the parklands, featuring 443 steel columns that support growing bougainvillea plants.
The architectural structure, designed by Melbourne firm Denton Corker Marshall, opened in 2000 and follows the path of a former Expo 88 boat canal.
The structure connects the Griffith Film School to the Cultural Forecourt and Queensland Performing Arts Centre, forming a central axis in Brisbane's cultural district.
Evening illumination and weekly maintenance of the bougainvillea plants ensure the walkway remains functional and appealing throughout all seasons.
Each of the 443 steel tendrils rises ten meters high, creating a living canopy with purple bougainvillea that provides shade for pedestrians below.
