Architectural
Project 1
Objective
The purpose of the
project is to incorporate a function to an existing design while maintaining the integrity of the original design. We had to develop
an existing bridge to allow a large ship to pass through while at the same time
will not touch the water underneath in order to protect an endangered species
of snails. We also had to create our designs using the given guidelines:
Span = 190'; Width =
12'; Clearance = 40'; Max. Height = 100’
No Structural members
can be longer than 20’ and shall be 1’ x 1’
