The exhibition shows a photographic journal compiled by Wilfried Dechau that documents the complete process of constructing the Traversiner Steg, designed by Jürg Conzett, between 14.04 and 16.08.2005.

“This beautiful footbridge offers conclusive proof of two things: that the key point of reference for a bridge is its location, and that watching it being built is often more interesting than admiring the finished structure.” Jörg Schlaich
