Project 1: Form And Function
Architectural Design ll - ARC 257
This Project focuses on designing solutions in order to meet requirements in both use and function. In this case, a bridge is what's being redesigned in order to allow a clearance of at least 30'x40' by lifting the roadbed. Mechanics of said bridge must resemble an existing object.
Real Bridge Prototypes
Sydney Harbour Bridge, Australia (Arch, Truss)
Francis Scott Key Bridge,
Maryland (Arch, Truss)
Arthur Ravenel Jr. Bridge (Cable Stayed)
Movement Analogies
5 Objects were chosen containing at least 2+ hinges. Out of those 5 objects, 3 of them were assigned to be drawn in 3D and movement to be detailed.
Compound Metal Shears
Vise Grip
Umbrella
Chosen Prototype
3x3 Preliminary Table
Table consisting of modified bridges to allow for 30'x40' clearance, as well as mechanism applied to move roadbed
