Bridge Project

Form and function are the two main concepts in the bridge project. The function is the movement of the bridge, which will allow the opening and closing of the roadway. The reason for this is to allow boats to navigate safely through a 30ft wide by 40ft high passage way. Therefore, the shape of the bridge must have a transformation to allow this movement. The transformation came from existing bridges (arch, cable stay, and truss) and inspiration from common object around the house (clothes line pulley and door hinge).
