Design 2 Project 1
Form & Function
Architectural Design II- Arc 257
Specifications
- Bridge Span: 190'
- Bridge Width: 12'
- Depth Below Grade: 10'
The goal of this project is to
explore the relationship between form and function in a bridge design. Scholars redesigned an existing bridge to incorporate a 30'x40' opening, allowing water traffic to pass through while still maintaining the bridges structural prose and overall function.
- Opening Width: 30'
- Opening Height: 40'
- Depth Below Grade: 10'
