​FORM & FUNCTION

Expression of Truth and Beauty

This project explores the analysis and transformation of existing prototypes based on new functions.  The use of conceptual combinations, convergent diagrams and divergent solutions in generating ideas are incorporated. An existing bridge is combined with a household item and a new moveable bridge that allows a 30’ x 40’ opening for the passage of watercrafts is created.
