CULTURAL RESOURCES GUIDANCE • Consider the design of the new bridge as an integral part of a two-bridge conceptual unit. Within that unit, the historic bridge is a “fj rst among equals” and is considered the more signifj cant structure of the two. It was there fj rst. • The new bridge is not a stand-alone structure and should not be a design “statement” , “gateway” or a “signature bridge.” • Any new construction should not destroy historic materials, features, or spatial relationships that characterize the historic bridge. This could apply to the abutment areas where the new bridge is in very close proximity to the historic bridge. Winona Bridge Visual Quality Review Committee Meeting 4 Slide 3
CULTURAL RESOURCES GUIDANCE • The new design and construction should be difg erentiated from the historic bridge -- i.e., no replicas, no “mimicking” any historic elements – BUT – • The new design and construction should be compatible with the historic bridge and its materials, features, size, scale and proportion, and massing. • The new bridge should not compete with the historic bridge or diminish the design stature of the historic bridge. • Height is an issue, and the new bridge should not have strong or exaggerated vertical elements that compete visually with the historic bridge. • Ornamentation, particularly attached or applied ornamentation, on the new bridge should be minimal. This can be assessed on a case-by-case basis and may be a diffj cult issue in terms of public art and symbolic features. Winona Bridge Visual Quality Review Committee Meeting 4 Slide 4
