NEXT建筑事务所正在世界各地进行一系列独特的桥梁设计。这一次，他们的最新设计不是一座耐人寻味的蝙蝠桥（获得2016年荷兰设计奖提名），而是中国的一座标志性桥梁：幸运结。这座位于中国特大城市长沙的新钢制人行桥长185米，高24米，完美地融入了NEXT实践中的非凡桥梁序列；通过明确地参与当地的环境，桥梁设计提供了新的视角。
NEXT architects are working on a unique series of bridges all over the world. This time, their latest design isn’t an intriguing bat bridge (nominated for the 2016 Dutch Design Awards), but an iconic bridge in China: the Lucky Knot. The new steel pedestrian bridge in the Chinese mega city Changsha is 185 metres long and 24 metres high and fits perfectly in the sequence of extraordinary bridges that characterise NEXT’s practice; by explicitly engaging with the local context, the bridge designs offer new perspectives.
引人注目的“幸运结”(Lucky Knot)有着脚踏实地的荷兰渊源:NEXT architects在阿姆斯特丹和北京设有办公室。2013年，在完成了令人惊叹的梅尔韦格大桥后，NEXT受邀参加了一项国际竞赛，设计一座横跨长沙快速发展的“新湖区”的龙王港河上的新桥。为了这个特别的项目，阿姆斯特丹和北京的团队共同设计出了这个独特的获奖设计:幸运结。荷兰团队在基础设施和水资源管理方面的专业知识与中国团队的坚持不懈和对当地环境的了解相结合，是这个过程的关键部分。这座桥已经成为了一个标志，并被CNN选为“最壮观的打破常规的桥”之一。
The eye-catching Lucky Knot has down-to-earth Dutch roots: NEXT architects holds offices in Amsterdam and Beijing. In 2013, after the completion of their breathtaking Melkwegbridge in Purmerend, NEXT was invited to take part in an international competition to design a new bridge to be constructed over the Dragon King Harbour River in Changsha’s rapidly developing ‘New Lake District’. For this special commission, the teams in Amsterdam and Beijing joined forces to come up with the unique, winning design: the Lucky Knot. Combining the Dutch team’s expertise in infrastructure and water management and Chinese team’s perseverance and knowledge of the local context was a crucial part of the process. The bridge has already become an icon, and was selected by CNN as one of the “most spectacular bridges that break the mold.”

"NEXT为国际和国内客户所做的设计，因其与周围环境的奇异关系、对特定地点体验的提升以及对场地的附加价值而脱颖而出。长沙的情况也是如此。这个城市正在快速发展和变化。这种情况下，需要一种独特的姿态来激励路人。"阿姆斯特丹NEXT建筑师事务所的合伙人Michel Schreinemachers评论道。
“NEXT’s designs for both international and national clients distinguish themselves for their singular relationship with their surroundings, their enhancing of the experience of the specific location, and their added value to the site. This is also the case in Changsha. The city is growing and changing rapidly. This context called for a unique gesture to inspire passers-by,” comments Michel Schreinemachers, partner at NEXT architects Amsterdam.
该桥是开发该地区公共空间的一个关键项目，设计时考虑到了休闲、生态和旅游活动。该桥连接了不同高度的多个层次（河岸、道路、位置较高的公园以及它们之间的相互联系）。大桥的最终形状是--从字面上和隐喻上--将所有这些路线结为一体的结果。"幸运结 "的造型灵感来自于莫比乌斯环的原理，也来自于中国的结艺。在古老的中国民间装饰艺术中，结象征着幸运和繁荣。"NEXT建筑事务所北京合伙人John van de Water说：“这座桥的想象力得益于传统与现代的结合。”
The bridge is a key project in developing the area’s public space, and was designed with recreational, ecological and tourist activities in mind. The bridge connects multiple levels at different heights (the river banks, the road, the higher-placed park as well as the interconnections between them). The final shape of the bridge is the result of -literally and metaphorically- knotting all these routes together. “The shape of the Lucky Knot was inspired by the principle of the Mobius ring, as well as by the Chinese knotting art. In the ancient decorative Chinese folk art, the knot symbolises luck and prosperity,” says John van de Water, partner at NEXT architects Beijing. The bridge owes its imaginative appeal to the combining of tradition and modernity.
"幸运结不仅仅是一座桥，也不仅仅是两岸之间的连接。它的成功在于将各种文化融合在一起，在于历史、技术、艺术、创新、建筑和奇观的融合。"NEXT建筑事务所北京合伙人Jiang Xiaofei补充道。
“The Lucky Knot is more than a bridge and a connection between two river banks. Its success lays in bringing cultures together, and in the fusion of history, technology, art, innovation, architecture and spectacle,” adds NEXT architects Beijing partner Jiang Xiaofei.
幸运结连接、照明和娱乐。桥上可以看到江面、梅溪湖、长沙市和周围山脉的壮观景色。得益于其非凡的LED灯光秀，该桥将成为追寻龙王港河之路的灯光路线中的标志性景点。
The Lucky Knot connects, illuminates and entertains. The bridge offers a spectacular view of the river, Meixi Lake, the city of Changsha and the surrounding mountain range. Thanks to its remarkable LED lightshow, the bridge is set to become a landmark attraction in the light route that traces the path of the Dragon King Harbour River.
