Form and Function
Project 1
This Project is a visual representation of form and function in architecture. The goal of this project is to take an already existing bridge and incorporate a movement component from the movement analogies from a common household item.
The requirements for this project:
- 190' bridge span
- No members of the bridge can enter in the water.
- Movable components to allow a 40’ x 50’ object to pass through it
- Water is 10' below the road
- Bridge members no longer than 20' or higher than 100'
