Form & Function

The goal of this project was to take a normal household item with two or more moveable parts and add it into the structure of the bridge. This transforms the bridge from just a form to both form and function.

Movement Analogy

The moveable part of these objects is to act as the part of the bridge intended to raise and lower a section of the roadbed to make a clear 30 x 40 section of the bridge for boats to safely travel through.
