This study explores the essential issues pertaining to a landscape bridge based on a multi-scale methodology,in view of the paucity of design theories for contemporary landscape bridges.We contribute to reinterpret landscape bridges on their physical temporal-spatial scales,instead of from perspectives of individual disciplines or their mechanical cooperation.Envisaged in a new systematized framework,we elaborate the dominant and their opposite counterparts of landscape bridges from a binary deconstruction point of view,i.e.,(1) Devel-opment and retrogression on the temporal scale,(2) connection and separation on the spatial topographic scale,(3) skyphilia and topophilia on the spatial landscape scale,and (4) extrover-sion and introversion on the spatial architectural scale.The deconstructed multifaceted scales are instrumental in understanding landscape bridges from various perspectives,with a pyramid model proposed afterward to mediate the discovered oppositions and stimulate the cross-scale interactions.Various possible design paths could be derived from this well-organized and open-minded multiple system,which is initially expected in this study to inspire bridge designers with dissimilar backgrounds and calls for a wider ramification.
