Project 1 : Form & Function

Expression of Truth / Beauty

This project examines the relationship of form and function in architectural design.

A bridge prototype design transforms into a new functional and movable bridge with analogies of common household items mechanism.

In this design, movable and functional bridge allows for 30 feet wide by 40 feet high clearance for a boat to pass through.
