    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

  1. 190' span of the bridge

  2. Allowing a clearance of 30'x40' for passing boats

  3. Roadbed  10' above water

  4. Membranes cant be more than 20'
