Bridge competition debris part 17: Galp Energia Bridge

I wasn't previously aware of this recent competition to design a new foot and cycle bridge over a highway in Lisbon. It was run over the summer, promoted by Fundação Galp Energia, a Portugese gas and oil distribution company, and ExperimentaDesign, a biennale design exhibition. Open only to registered architects, the scheme proposed a bridge with a 1m euro budget, and the contest had a reasonable prize fund, with 20,000 euros shared amongst the winners.

The organisers received 62 submissions from 14 countries, and the results were announced a couple of weeks ago. I've included whichever images I can find online below. I've left all the entries without comment, so feel free to add comments below.

As always, click on any image for a larger version. Links are provided if the designer's website has more information on a particular design.
