As Anna suggested to me in my feedback I want to research into the River Spree finding the direction it flows, the ripples it forms, the path it creates and the current. I want this research to be able to influence my design as it will make it flow in and out of the river as a bridge connecting tow sides into one rather than a floating object sitting on top.
Research:Spree River
Facts:
- 400 km long
- Origin Upper Lusatia
- Basin countries Czech Republic, Germany
- Average discharge 36 m³/s
- Basin area 10,105 km²
Spree River, river in northeastern Germany, rising in the Lusatian Mountains just above Neugersdorf and flowing north past Bautzen and Spremberg, where it splits temporarily into two arms. After it passes Cottbus, the river divides into a network of channels, forming a marshy wooded region that is known as the Spree Forest as far as Lübben. It then passes Fürstenwalde and Köpenick and winds through Berlin in several branches to join the Havel River at Spandauafter. The Spree drains an area of 3,900 square miles (10,100 square km). The Spree River is connected with neighbouring rivers by canals, the most important of which is the Oder-Spree Canal running southeast from Berlin.

Even though this map is on a large scale of Germany, it gives me the idea that it is not very straight the pathway is always changing and nearer the Holzmarkt it becomes very jarred and sharp lines, this could be an idea to capture to create my design.
