Project Statement

In this project we needed to transform a normal bridge so that it could allow passage for boats that are 30 feet wide by 40 feet high. The function in this project is the movement of the bridge. The form is how the bridge transforms to fit the functions needs. The transformation could come from any existing bridge such as an arch, truss, or cable-stay bridge and inspiration from common, moving mechanism found in everyday life such as a moveable pen, a ratchet, or an adjustable wrench.
