Form & Function: Expression of Truth/Beauty

The primary architectural concept of this project is to explore form follows function as well as function follows form. Using tried and true bridge construction typologies, form and function can be dissected. A movable span requirement welcomes confrontation between form and function. The movable span of the bridge has a specific function that must be possible provided the form it takes. The bridge overall conforms to allow this moving function, while still respecting established bridge forms. In this way, the moving apparatus must fit into the existing form, yet its function influences the form of its housing mechanism.
