Project

-
The main propose of this project was to
see how in design the function of a structure affects the form the structure
will take. In this project I took a form which was a bridge and modified it to
fit a function which was an opening to allow boats through. To help create
ideas I pick several prototypes of spans and movement then combined them to
create solutions.
