The garden of Ayazağa Primary School was divided by a water canal. Overall of the garden was unreachable and inactive. The project aimed to reach the unattainable part and design the site. User-participated design and collective work are the two things that we focused on. Design process started after requirements are defined with the aid of meeting with students, teachers and parents.Design contains site arrangements and the bridge which provide reaching the unattainable part. The location of bridge was determined by a collaborative design process by all students.The design of bridge was decided after discussions of individual models. It was clarified with the engineering consultant. The budget calculated according to design. Construction started at the garden of the school. Since the design of the trusses was complex all details were different than each other and all of them were designed separately. After preparing and cutting the timber lamination was done with metal splices and pin bolts. Concrete foundation was constructed with the help of the municipality.Trusses were placed by crane. The walking platform was completed and the bridge opened to use.
