Experiment 2: The Bridge SUBMISSION

THE THEORY

"Dynamic architecture elements create transitions that promote intimate relationships between spaces."

3 SKETCH ONE-POINT PERSPECTIVE DRAWINGS

I wanted to challenge myself by making perspective sketches out of curved elements, because curves paints a more dynamic picture because it guides the eyes through the image and creates a sense of depth.

How The Design Relates to the Theory

The curvaceous nature of this design creates a dynamic approach to architecture. It allowed intimate spaces to be created along steep curves and helps define spaces without the use of walls or doors allowing for seamless transitions between spaces. The curves also helps with the flow and movement of people in the spaces.

one out of the many student sitting area. My decision to create multiple areas where students can study and create together, stems from my believe architecture students benefit from doing work together with friends, because this allows ideas to flow between each other and there is plenty of feedback to go around.

WEEK 9: Experiment 2 

Textures















SketchUp Model (Base Shape)





ROOF EXPERIMENTS


This picture I found on Pinterest kind of inspired the final model of my bridge



This is what I created from looking at the picture


It is then refined to this, which also included my moving element
