The contest to design a new pedestrian and cycle crossing of the River Thames in London, England, had attracted 74 proposals (link opens in new tab).
The six runners-up were Wilkinson Eyre Architects Ltd with Aecom, Atelier One and Schlaich Bergermann; Farshid Moussavi Architecture with Bollinger and Grohmann Ingenieure; Eric Parry Architects Ltd with Richard Deacon AKTII; Atkins with Grimshaw Architects; Coffey Architects with Buro Happold; Ove Arup & Partners Ltd with Studio Egret West.
In total, Arup was involved in 17 of the designs, including the two on the shortlist and one of the six runners-up.
The finalists were chosen by a jury panel that includes Wandsworth Council leader Ravi Govindia, Lambeth councillor Joanne Simpson, architect Graham Stirk, engineer Henry Bardsley and chair of Cabe at the Design Council, Pam Alexander.
In coming to their decision the panel considered feedback from more than 1,000 people who responded to the stage one public exhibitions, as well as detailed technical assessments for each proposal.
The next stage of the competition will see the shortlisted teams develop their initial ideas into detailed designs.
Wandsworth Council expects to announce the winning team in late autumn this year. A new bridge would require planning permission before it could be built.
