Project 1:
Form & Function
The purpose of this project is to highlight the relationship between form and function within a design. The goal of this project was to combine the visual forms and aesthetics of a design with the function needed to be performed. Students were required to modify an existing bridge span in order to allow water traffic through a 30' x 40' opening.
