Form & Function: Project 1
Specifications:
- Bridge Span: 190'
- Bridge Width: 12'
- Depth Below Grade: 10'
- Opening Width: 30'
- Opening Height: 40'
The goal:
In this project we look at the relationship between form and function in a bridge design. I redesigned an existing bridge to have a 30'x40' opening, allowing water traffic to pass through while still keeping the bridges structure and function.
1. Span Prototypes

2. Movement Analogies




3. 3x3 Table

4. Preliminary Designs & Transformation Process

5. Moving Mechanism + Isometrics





6. Final Design

7. Renderings
