Project 1: Form and Function

Introduction: The purpose of this project was to create a pedestrian bridge that spans a length of 190 feet, while incorporating the themes of form and function. The steps for this project included researching types of bridges, understanding their principles, and then designing a bridge based on the knowledge obtained. The design of the bridge has to undergo a transformation based on the function, such as adding in more structural support for gears and pulleys.
