architectural Design II
This project explores the relationship between structure, movement, and function through the design of a pedestrian bridge that spans 190 feet while providing a mechanism for a large object measuring 30 feet by 40 feet to pass through. The bridge serves as both a circulation pathway and a dynamic architectural system, transforming to create the required clearance while maintaining structural integrity and accessibility. Integrated into the span is a two-story observation tower containing essential living amenities, creating a unique combination of infrastructure and inhabitable space. The design emphasizes structural clarity, functional expression, and creative transformation while responding to the project's dimensional and material constraints.
