Project 1

Form + Function

This project had us explore the relationship between form and function. Students were tasked to modify an existing bridge to allow a 30' x 40' clearance for marine traffic.  We worked to prove a practical solution that had the visual aesthetics and function to have a final project that portrays the beauty of architecture.
