Tondo, Circular footbridge in Freedom Quarter, Brussels, Belgium.
The Tondo connects two buildings of the Belgian Federal Parliament with a ring-shaped structure coated in mirrored panels reflecting the surrounding architecture.
The architectural firm OFFICE Kersten Geers David Van Severen completed this modern connection between governmental buildings in 2020, with an official opening in January 2021.
The bridge takes its name from Renaissance circular paintings, incorporating this artistic reference into its architectural design through its circular shape and path.
The structure spans 20 meters and incorporates a gentle 4% slope to bridge a 90-centimeter height difference, ensuring accessibility for all visitors.
The floor of the bridge suspends from its roof structure, creating a minimal visual impact while providing an enclosed outdoor space within its circular design.
