Form and Function

The aim of this project was to investigate the connection between form and function. For this project students were tasked with creating an already existing bridge and drawing it in Autocad, as well as drawing up an everyday life item to combine into one idea to make a passage for a 30'X40' opening to allow for water traffic to pass through the students bridge.

Preliminary Designs &
Transformation Process

I decided to go with the Car-Jack as my movement and for my bridge I wanted to transform the cable Stayed bridge.
