Paper Bridge was designed as a summer event for the tourist season near the Pont du Gard, a Roman aqueduct in the south of France near Nimes, registered by UNESCO as a World Heritage.

The shape of the arched bridge was selected for the situation of the site and the structural rationality. There was the contrast of the materiality where Pont du Gard is made of stone which is heavy, hard and durable, and Paper Bridge which is made of the paper tubes that are light, weak and short-lived. At the same time, there is a harmony between the two as the geometry of Paper Bridge uses the same arc dimension as the Pont du Gard’s arches.
