Project 1: Form and Function

This Project we explored the relationship between form and function. We first sketched an existing bridge and a household item, then redesign the bridge to incorporate a 30' x 40' opening for water traffic.

Movement Analogies

We had to sketch 3 out of the 5 household items and use them as a bridge opening. Then we sketched them as a 3D drawing to understand how the items move.

Preliminary 3x3 Prototype Table

I combined my three conceptual spans with three household items to create a 3x3 diagram featuring nine different prototypes.
