Hoshino Architects' proposal for "Reimei Kobashi" features a continuous white structure hovering over the water, emphasizing the rhythm of the water's surface with its subtle undulating form. The bridge's shadow, projected onto the water's surface, further stimulates the imagination with an accumulation of waves that seem to merge into one another.
The design, which presents a fluid movement through three-dimensional geometric changes, provides pedestrians crossing it with a sense of motion. The lighting is programmed to gradually change color according to the season and day of the week.

By changing the rhythm of the lighting program at the top and bottom of the three-dimensional undulating form, the different color combinations are designed to create diverse impressions. In this way, the nighttime panorama of this recently developed area, where the number of residents is increasing, can be enjoyed daily through its fleeting combinations of color and movement.
