This project aims to examine the relationship of form and function in architectural design.
This project will use a structural span, at 190 feet in length, called a bridge as a platform to attach a function. The structural bridge will support a pedestrian walkway. The function in this case is the ability of the walkway on the bridge to open, allowing a 30’wide x 40’ object to pass through.
PROTOTYPES
The three (3) bridges I chose to modify were: an arch bridge, similar to that of the Sydney Harbor Bridge, a cantilever lever namely the Forth Bridge, and a truss bridge.
