Bridge/Ramp Sculpture

Across the undulating landscape of Killesbergpark stretches a unique creation, the Bridge/Ramp Sculpture. This isn’t just a bridge, it’s a work of art. Completed in 1994, the Bridge/Ramp Sculpture seamlessly blends function and artistry. Designed by Siah Armajani, it’s a testament to how industrial sites can transform into spaces of beauty. Killesbergpark itself is a fascinating example of such a transformation. Once a sandstone quarry, the area was reimagined for the 1939 National Garden Show, evolving into the park we see today. The Bridge/Ramp Sculpture, spanning 58 meters, is a key feature of this evolution. Imagine strolling along its gentle incline, the park’s vibrant greenery unfolding around you. The sculpture’s beam structure offers unique perspectives of Killesbergpark’s diverse landscapes. From manicured gardens to open meadows, the views shift and change as you traverse the bridge. Killesbergpark is part of Stuttgart’s “Green U,” a network of interconnected green spaces. The Bridge/Ramp Sculpture, with its thoughtful design, contributes to this ecological vision. It’s a pathway through a living artwork, connecting you to the heart of Killesbergpark’s revitalized landscape.
