Urban skylines are growing upward. But as global city-dwellers continue to reach for the skies, constructors have now begun asking themselves how to best use the spaces between skyscrapers. Instead of just building up, they are now building across \u2013 and installing walkways to connect some of the tallest buildings in the world.<\/p>

In many cases, the results are breathtaking. Glass bridges hundreds of meters above the ground give unobstructed cityscape views, and can help workers, residents and shoppers move faster between the high-rise structures in which they work, rest and play.<\/p>

But how are skybridges constructed? How did they come into being? And are they transitioning from their ornamental origins toward a function-based future?<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Although skybridges can now be found all over the world, perhaps the most famous of all is the Petronas Towers\u2019 iconic Skybridge, installed by Samsung C&T\u2019s Engineering and Construction Group.<\/p>

The Petronas Towers have just\u00a0turned 20<\/a>, but the Malaysian dual towers\u2019 appeal is lasting. The buildings ranked as one of TripAdvisor\u2019s 25\u00a0\u201cmost popular tourist attractions in the world\u201d in 2016<\/a>, thanks in part to their pioneering Skybridge, which remains a tourist favorite.<\/p>

The fruit of Samsung C&T\u2019s labors was a 58.4m double-decked structure that joins both tower\u2019s 41st<\/sup>-story sky lobbies \u2013 no less impressive now than when it was first unveiled two decades ago. It also doubles as support mechanism, keeping the towers strong and stable, even in windy conditions.<\/p>

The Petronas Towers Skybridge placed at number one on\u00a0skyscapercity.com\u2019s\u00a0online readers\u2019 poll<\/a>\u00a0of skybridges. And over time, it has developed additional functionality. In 2012, it was the venue for the\u00a0world\u2019s highest-ever fashion show<\/a>,<\/u>\u00a0an event whose designer made full use of the bridge\u2019s distinct\u00a0visual look and feel<\/a>.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

As they are often extremely heavy and complex structures, installing skybriges requires considerable know-how, especially in the fields of prefabrication and hydraulic lifting.<\/p>

Jung Wook Kim is the Vice President of Samsung C&T\u2019s Building Sales Group, and previously worked on the Petronas Towers construction site. He explains that the Petronas\u2019 Skybridge was prefabricated and shop-assembled in Korea, complying with strict industry standards and codes set out by the American Society for Testing and Materials, British Standard and the American Institute of Steel Construction \u2013 before being carefully dismantled and shipped to Kuala Lumpur.<\/p>

Kim explains that the on-site re-assembly and installation process captivated the imagination of the entire country. \u201cWe had to re-assemble the bridge on the ground and then hoist it up using a complex system of hydraulic jacks,\u201d says Kim. \u201cIt took us almost two days to lift it into place. I think the whole of Malaysia was watching us live on TV!\u201d<\/p>

Twenty years later, skybridges have become increasingly commonplace, not just for super-high landmark projects, but also for smaller-scale residential developments.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Samsung C&T\u2019s latest residential project, the Raemian Caelitus towers in central Seoul, is a good example. It comprises three towers linked by two different skybridges. Three towers have different height and levels: Towers Tower 101 is 201m tall with 56-story housing towers, Tower 102 is 166m tall with 42-story housing towers, and Tower 103 is 150m tall with 36-story housing towers. In fact, in the Raemian Caelitus\u2019s case, Petronas Towers-style ground-level assembly and hydraulic lifting methods are equally essential \u2013 for very different reasons.<\/p>

Jungwook Kim, Samsung C&T\u2019s Vice President of Building Sales Group, explains, \u201cThe Raemian Caelitus\u2019s skybridge features a multipurpose community center facility, which makes it heavier and larger than similar structures. That means we have to use sophisticated construction methods to get it into place.\u201d<\/p>

Indeed, this project\u2019s bridges, at 460 tons (230 tons each), is a true heavyweight. It is also pretty long \u2013 half the length of a soccer pitch. This project builders had to utilize the same methods used to lift the spire of the world\u2019s tallest building, the\u00a0Samsung C&T-constructed Burj Khalifa<\/a>, to its lofty summit.<\/p>

And there is more to the Raemian Caelitus site\u2019s skybridge: It also provides improved structural integrity. Sangdon Park, Samsung C&T\u2019s engineer, notes that, \u201cThe skybridge will help boost stability, and helps build resistance against earthquakes and high winds.\u201d<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

The Raemian Caelitus towers\u2019 community center-skybridge project is indicative of a\u00a0new trend<\/a>\u00a0in construction innovation. Contractors and architects are now getting ambitious with their skybridge designs. Already in the pipelines are a range of\u00a0new projects<\/a>\u00a0set to transform\u00a0skybridges\u00a0from\u00a0mere ornaments into\u00a0innovative work<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0lifestyle solutions<\/a>\u00a0for tomorrow\u2019s urbanites.<\/p>

In\u00a0densely\u00a0developed urban spaces,\u00a0skybridges\u00a0offer an effective usage of the previously unexplored space between\u00a0tall buildings. Skybridges also make dual-tower projects safer and more visually appealing than ever, so architects are now keener than ever to feature them in blueprints.<\/p>

But it is perhaps the newfound functionality of the skybridge \u2013 and its enormous potential \u2013 that is set to make it a firm horizontal fixture in the skylines of the future.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
