Project 1
Form
and Function
Expression
of truth/Beauty
Description:
The purpose of this project is to
show the relationship between form and function that leads to the architectural
design. In this project the design of a bridge will change according to the
functions that are to be placed on it. The bridge will be design following a
creative design process: use of prototypes, use analogies, and integration and
transformation. To use a prototype, first we do a research of various
prototypes, then a conceptual analysis of each is done and finally one of them
is selected. Analogies were used to select the movement and function of the
bridge from common mechanical and human things that move, then according to
that a movement will be choose. In Integration and transformation an expression
of form and function will become the new aesthetic.
