For our first project in Farmingdale State College and Architectural design II class, the objective was form and function. Our goal was to transform a bridge into a movable bridge for the passing boats. Our inspiration was everyday objects that we find around the home and use their function into our design.
Criteria
-
190' span of the bridge
-
Allowing a clearance of 30'x40' for passing boats
-
Roadbed 10' above water
-
Membranes cant be more than 20'
